Business for Sale Overview:
This business was established in 2008 – although its roots date as far back as 2005 when the current Owner of the business, then involved in an IT services and support company identified an on-going demand from customers looking for help to dispose of their unwanted IT and telecoms equipment. Initially offering a brokerage only service – the resale of unwanted, redundant or surplus equipment, this service was formalised in the setting up of this company which has rapidly grown to become one of the leading forerunners in the environmentally friendly disposal of IT, telecommunications and electrical equipment. Operating primarily within the B2B sector, for any company looking to dispose of printers, PC’s, mobile telephones, keyboards – even monitors, televisions, videos players/recorders – this is the business to contact.
This business works not only to the letter, but also within the spirit of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive, legislation introduced throughout the European Union with the single aim of reducing the amount of electronic waste that ends up in landfill sites.
