We help banks, insurers, asset managers, accountancy and law firms retire IT securely — from trading-floor workstations and encrypted drives to corporate laptop and mobile fleets. Discreet, security-cleared collection, witnessed destruction options, and UK-only processing.

Finance runs on provable controls. So does our process — every asset logged, every drive certified, every movement recorded.
Every device is logged by serial number at your site and tracked through to destruction or recovery. Your risk and compliance teams can reconcile exactly what left and what happened to it — the closed audit trail regulators expect.
Data-bearing media erased to NIST SP 800-88 Rev.2 or physically shredded, aligned with UK GDPR, with witnessed on-site destruction available. A serialised certificate for every drive.
Laptops, workstations, and networking hardware with residual value are recovered and you receive a transparent share — often offsetting the cost of the project. See our asset recovery & buyback.
Every asset is logged by serial number, transported under chain of custody by our Environment Agency registered carrier, and processed at our licensed UK facility in Mitcham — never sold on to an untracked offshore broker. For a step-by-step walkthrough of how we handle larger estates, see what actually happens to your servers.
Retired laptops, drives, and servers still hold client money records, market-sensitive data, and privileged files. See how secure WEEE collection with certified, witnessed data destruction keeps that information from ever leaving your control.
In finance and professional services the risk that matters is data, not weight. Client money records, market-sensitive information, and privileged legal files all sit on the hardware you retire. We treat every data-bearing asset as confidential until it is provably destroyed, with documentation written for UK GDPR, FCA and PRA data-security expectations, and SRA confidentiality duties.
We are not a financial or legal advisory firm, and we make no regulatory-advice claims. What we offer is straightforward: discreet, security-cleared decommissioning, certified data destruction, and compliant recovery for the IT and data-bearing assets you retire.

Common questions from finance and professional services firms.
Yes. We provide the serialised, per-device evidence finance and professional services firms need to satisfy UK GDPR, FCA and PRA data-security expectations, and SRA confidentiality duties for law firms. Every asset is logged, destroyed to NIST SP 800-88 Rev.2, and supported by a certificate.
Yes. For sensitive estates we perform witnessed drive removal and destruction on site, seal media into tamper-evident transit, and issue per-device certificates, so your information-security team can observe and evidence destruction without media leaving your control unsupervised.
