  • What is the refurbishment process?
    All equipment is collected and brought into our warehouse where it is processed and audited to determine whether it is suitable for re-sale. Next All data is wiped from the equipment to the highest standards ensuring it can be safely re-sold without any risk of remaining customer residual data, protecting against fraud and loss of sensitive company data. Repairs (if required) are carried out on the equipment. A new and legal operating system license is installed. Finally, the equipment is cleaned, packed, graded and shelved in our warehouse until sold. Learn more about our refurbishment process by following this link.
