SED Services Ltd is a family run Organics Recycling and Haulage Business founded in 2005. Our farming roots established much earlier than this, and our business evolved from our arable and livestock farming enterprise into composting. Our Business is based from our Head Office in Wigan, where we operate a large Composting and Aggregate Recycling centre. We also operate two further composting sites, based in Formby and Kirkby, accepting hundreds of thousands of tons of waste for treatment. Our innovative processes allow us to produce High Quality certified composts and soils for both wholesale and retail outlets across the country. 2026 is a key year for our business as we have a purpose-built, office and workshop under construction to be opened in the summer months. Now employing approx. 120 members of our team, the build is a welcome expansion for our business, allowing us to strengthen our place in the market.
