Sponsor’s Message: WRA Christmas Meeting & Social

After a busy year of significant developments in the waste wood sector, Alfred H Knight is pleased to sponsor the WRA Christmas Social once again, taking place on the evening of 4th December 2025 in Birmingham.

Following the WRA Winter Members’ Meeting, the event is an opportunity for members to unwind, connect, and celebrate another year in the industry, complete with food, drinks, games, and plenty of festive cheer.

As the UK waste-wood sector adapts to evolving regulation, including updates to Environmental Permitting, fire-prevention standards and classification frameworks, operators face increasing pressure to evidence compliance and material quality.

At Alfred H Knight, we help clients meet these obligations with robust testing, inspection and analysis services that underpin confident, data-driven decision-making. With over 140 years of expertise in materials analysis and a strong track record supporting major biomass clients around the world, AHK provides the insight and certainty needed to make informed decisions in an evolving marketplace.

As an industry-leading testing and inspection company, AHK offers a comprehensive range of services to support organisations across the biomass and solid recovered fuel sectors, helping you build an accurate and reliable profile of your waste wood. Our services include:

• Sampling
• Inspection and auditing
• Fuels testing
• Ash analysis
• Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) testing
• WM3 analysis

Those attending the WRA Winter Members’ Meeting and Christmas Social will have the opportunity to meet members of the AHK UK Energy Services Team:

Whether you have questions about hazardous waste wood classification, want to better understand how sampling and analysis can support compliance, or simply want to learn more about AHK’s work in the sector, this is a great opportunity to speak directly with our experts.
