Computers and IT Equipment Auctioneer

About us

Company is an organization, set up specifically to assist the advancement of computer education by providing cost subsidized systems to schools, educational institutions, youth clubs, charities and other disaffected groups.

Our mission is "To provide affordable computers for all alike and reduce the skills gap."

Evidently, many educational institutions are struggling with small budgets and outdated equipment. It is not always possible for them to purchase new or even second-hand computer equipment that meets the needs of their pupils. Consequently, many from disadvantaged backgrounds are leaving school computer illiterate. They do not possess the basic skills that are needed to find work in the modern job market. We are inadvertently creating a new underclass of people who not only are unemployed but also unemployable.

Why do we need to recycle?

Large organisations are under unprecedented scrutiny as to whether they address environmental issues. As IT technology continues to develop at a faster pace, it leaves these organisations with large amounts of redundant IT equipment for which they have no further use. The commercial costs of disposing of this equipment is great and has none of the benefits of recycling them and extending their life span by putting these systems back into use. This will allow groups who previously had no access to modern information resources to make full use of the opportunities of the information age.

Recycling is not just an appropriate response to these needs: it is the ideal response.

Who benefits?
Our extensive database lists over 30,000 schools, colleges and youth organisations. Assuming we receive a positive response from between 4.5 percent and 5 percent of these, we will assist approximately 1,400 organisations.
We are looking to further expand our database by acquiring contact information from third-party sources for other schools, colleges and youth organisations.

Did you know?
European legislation and Government targets mean recycling in England and Wales is set to increase rapidly: the Government’s Waste Strategy 2000 sets a national target to recycle and compost 30 percent of our waste by 2010, and 33 percent by 2015.

78 percent of households with children of school age now have a personal or laptop computer in the home. This increases with the age of the child - 67 percent of 11-16 year olds to 88 percent of post-16 year olds. The figures are lower amongst households in social grades D and E (59 percent), black/other ethnic groups (67 percent) and single parent housholds(63 percent).

99 percent of young people use computers at home, school or elsewhere. The average number of hours per week that young people spent using computers at school for non-games related use is 1.6 hours at Key Stage 1, 2.3 hours at Key Stage 4 and 4.3 hours at post-16. Boys are more likely to use a school computer in their lunch breaks (40 percent) than girls (29 percent).
