Independent healthcare waste management specialist Anenta has been named UK Healthcare Waste Management Services Company of the Year for the second consecutive year at the Healthcare Business Review Europe Awards 2026.
The award recognises Anenta’s technology-led approach, sector expertise, and commitment to efficiency, compliance, and cost control across healthcare estates. Judges highlighted the company’s proprietary Vector platform, which analyses hundreds of thousands of data points monthly to detect billing inaccuracies and operational inefficiencies before payment, saving clients significant time and money.
Anenta has helped primary care clients save over £13 million in charges and delivered the equivalent of £35 million in efficiencies by reducing staff time spent on waste administration, auditing, and dispute resolution. The judges described the company’s approach as “setting a benchmark for best practice, valued by both healthcare providers and waste contractors for its focus on transparency, accuracy and continuous improvement.”
Graham Flynn, Managing Director of Anenta, said: “This is a tremendous endorsement of our team, our technology and our approach. It is particularly meaningful because recognition comes from senior decision-makers who understand the operational and compliance pressures facing healthcare providers… Our focus remains on being a trusted partner - helping organisations operate with confidence, while continuously raising standards of healthcare waste management across the sector.”
Anenta currently supports more than 9,000 GP practices and 9,000 pharmacies across England, along with NHS organisations, dental practices, care homes, and laboratories, delivering services that include contract management, compliance audits, and digital reporting to streamline operations and reduce risk.
