What do you need?
A familiar story
The cupboard everyone in Ashington has
It starts with one box: last year's invoices, a few old staff files. Then it's the old client folders and the paperwork from the office move. Before long, a whole cupboard is full of paper nobody wants to deal with.
Someone suggests the office shredder. Two hours later it has jammed, the bin is full and you're only on the second box. Meanwhile, every page in that cupboard has names, addresses and bank details on it, and your business is responsible for all of it.
That's the point when Ashington businesses call us. One short form, one collection, and the cupboard is empty. You also get a certificate showing the paperwork was destroyed properly.
What unshredded paperwork really costs
- • Paperwork in an ordinary bin can be taken, read and photographed. Under UK GDPR, your business is responsible for it.
- • ICO fines for poor disposal of personal data can reach £17.5 million or 4% of turnover, and the reputational damage costs more.
- • Shredding in-house ties up staff for hours, jams cheap shredders and still leaves you without proof of destruction.
