The company's base price, which has remained largely flat so far today, was 180p, down from an earlier target of 220p.

Chief executive Ian Wakelin said in a statement today:

We are delighted to have reached this important milestone, and we now look forward with confidence to the next stage in the development of Biffa as a public company.
