SUCCESS TASTES SWEET AS UK SEWER CLEANING
LEADER LANES MARKS 30TH ANNIVERSARY
Lanes Group plc Chief Executive Wayne
Earnshaw has marked the 30th anniversary
of the company his father founded by
making the first cut in a cake shaped like
a jet vac tanker at the company's Greater
Manchester HQ.
The UK's largest independent drainage and
wastewater specialist operates hundreds of the
specialist vehicles that can clean sewers and
suck up waste for safe disposal.
So it was perfectly apt that the cake baked
to mark the 30th anniversary looked like a mini
version of the eye-catching pink and white tanker
lorries that have become an increasingly common
sight on roads across the UK.
Slices of the chocolate cake - made by East
Lancashire professional baker Molly Robbins,
former star of Channel 4's Extreme Cake Makers -
later made tasty treats for colleagues at the Lanes
Manchester depot and HQ o ices.
Wayne Earnshaw said: "We're proud of what
Lanes has achieved over the last three decades,
delivering drainage services on behalf of many water
companies, tens of thousands of businesses and

millions of people.
"Over the years, those services have been
delivered by many thousands of dedicated and highly
professional people, including our current teams. So
we will be celebrating their contributions over the rest
of 2022."
Wayne Earnshaw's father, Allan Earnshaw, and
Graham Tattershall triggered the company's rapid
development when they bought Lanes for Drains
from its founder, John Lane, on 21st April 1992.
What began as drainage company with one
depot in Leeds, West Yorkshire, has since grown
rapidly to operate more than 35 service depots
and utility hubs, and a turnover of over £300
million.
Lanes is now one of the UK's largest
wastewater maintenance service providers.
Clients include Thames Water, Severn Trent,
Yorkshire Water, Scottish Water, Dwr Cymru Welsh
Water, and Northumbrian Water.
In 2020, the company launched its latest
business venture, setting up Lanes Infrastructure
to deliver excavation and ducting installation
services for the broadband industry.
The Lanes-i launch has been a big success, with
the business building a rapidly growing portfolio of
contracts, aided by an innovative business model that
combines digital operational systems with industryleading
safety and quality standards.
