Chaps IT Solutions - Founded 2009

I Starting in the IT consultancy sector tailoring solutions for small, medium and large organisations. This ranged from server installations, cloud migrations & backup solutions. During the installation of new equipment, we discovered that the organisations we were assisting had no plans for their outdated and no longer necessary IT assets.

These assets would usually sit loosely in a cupboard, store room or server room gathering dust, whilst still holding all the company’s valuable data, from emails, and customer and staff information, to business-critical data.

Often organisations will overlook their legal obligations regarding GDPR, data protection, and environmental impacts, it’s crucial to recognise that these are indeed legal obligations. Failure to comply with these can result in substantial fines and even imprisonment.

Most items which leave a company will end up in landfill contributing to the ongoing environmental issues which the UK are battling on a daily basis and are only getting worse. There are potentially serious consequences for you and your company if you do not comply to environmental agency legislation.
