Simon on the business's primary function...
“Primarily it started off as a mobile phone recycling business, but we’ve moved into any electrical recycling, so we see ourselves as pioneers in electrical recycling in the UK, throughout Europe and further afield.”
On what inspired the idea...
“We both used to work for Orange, and in our days selling the Orange network a lot of our customers used to ask what they should do with their mobile phones. But there was never really a professional service that could offer a take-back of old hardware.”
On how they financed the business...
“It was financed out of our own pockets initially, purely getting phones in and selling them and working extremely hard for long hours to get money back into the bank, and we’ve continued with that philosophy all the way through to where we are today. We got premises in 2003 and as we’ve grown we’ve moved into newer and bigger premises.”
