Confidential shredding
There are times in a company’s existence when it might be necessary to destroy a large amount of documentation for security reasons. Most companies may have a small machine in the office for casual use but when it comes to dealing with tonnes of paper then the services of a professional firm may well come in useful. There are certain standards when it comes to the secure destruction of documents and as we operate in full compliance with them when carrying out any work for our clients, you can be assured of the efficiency and confidentiality of our service. We are a family-run business which means that it is much easier for us to adapt to individual customer’s needs than it is for a larger, less flexible organization. Our website features testimonials from satisfied customers and we are happy to discuss any special requirements that you may have and let you know if we can help. Having been in the document shredding business for over 30 years now, we are happy to dispose of any paper or digital documentation that your company no longer wishes to have laying around and are capable of responding quickly to those with urgent needs.
We can work at your offices
We are happy to bring our technicians and equipment to your premises and destroy your paperwork onsite if you would prefer. Taking advantage of this service can provide total peace of mind and we offer a complete solution including the provision of security sacks, cabinets and wheelie bins that your staff can use to put anything that needs to be destroyed in. For this type of service we will appoint a dedicated account manager who will work with your company to design an operation that offers the most benefits and causes the least inconvenience to your employees. A regular date can be arranged for collection of all materials destined for destruction and we will keep a record of the totals. Office shredding services can include waste materials such as surplus DVDs and other digital media so we are able to take care of all your disposal needs. It is best to contact us to discuss your own particular requirements if you think your company might be interested in this service and we will be able to give you a good idea of the costs involved and the viability of any proposed collection schedules that you may already have in mind.
Take-away service
If your company does not feel it necessary to witness the destruction of documents then we can offer an offsite disposal service where your waste materials are collected on a regular basis and destroyed at our purpose-built facility. We will supply the same containers as mentioned in the previous section, so your staff has a secure place to put anything that is awaiting destruction. An account manager will work with your company to come up with the best solution that a commercial shredding company can offer, be it a mobile service or an offsite disposal contract. We provide all our customers with a certificate of destruction for any materials destroyed offsite to ensure they are able to comply with current data protection laws. If you are not sure whether an onsite or offsite disposal solution is the best one for your organizations' needs then a member of our team will be happy to run through the costs and implications of each service and suggest the most appropriate one based on the information you supply them with regarding your requirements. Whichever service you settle on you can be assured of our best attention at all times when carrying out our work.
Security
The most important concern for many of our clients is how secure their documentation disposal procedures are. Because we adhere to the code of practice set out for the destruction of confidential materials we are able to offer you a secure shredding service whether you choose to have materials destroyed onsite or off site. We have also been awarded the ISO 9001 standard which is your guarantee that our quality assurance is up to scratch. The security of your company’s image is also of prime importance and when you work with us you can be assured that we do everything in our power to minimize the impact that your organizations' waste materials have on the environment. Recycling is obviously a big part of this and the more your firm can do to show that it is committed to reducing its carbon footprint, the more socially responsible it will appear to the local community. This is something that companies operating in today’s world must think about, both for the sake of the planet and in order to keep customers happy. Complying with the relevant data protection laws and helping to make the world a cleaner place is definitely a winning combination.
Document shredding
You might think that paper documentation was a thing of the past in the age of the computer but you would be wrong. There is still a great demand for our services that deal with the destruction of printed and handwritten documents and our many years of experience make us the best choice when it comes to dealing with unwanted paperwork. Although we have grown and kept apace with technological innovations as they have occurred, we have always maintained our high level of efficiency in the disposal of physical waste materials such as paper contracts and statements, produced by offices around the country. Even if your needs do not seem very large to you it may still be worth giving us a call as our adherence to current codes of practice means that you can be sure your business is fully compliant with the laws pertaining to data security when you become a customer of ours. Some people think that confidential shredding sounds like a simple task and see no need to hire a company to help them with it. Whilst we would never claim it is rocket science, it is not always that simple to do the job perfectly.
Modern waste management
Ensuring the safe disposal of sensitive data encompasses a lot more than simply destroying some paperwork these days. There are many other media used for storing data on and each one requires the right approach in order to makes sure that it is destroyed in compliance with government regulations. In addition to our paper disposal services we are also able to deal with data that is stored on x-ray, microfiche and audio tapes, to name a few examples. Being as most companies have their own network of computers which they use to help with the day-to-day running of their business, there is also a demand for a service that deals with the destruction of digitally stored data and our file shredding capabilities extend to destroying documentation stored on a computer’s hard drive or anything burnt to CD. As with the rest of our services, we aim to provide the most efficient solution for your company at the most competitive price that we can. It may be possible to find a firm that will carry out the work cheaper but we believe that we offer the best value for money in the industry and dozens of satisfied customers agree with us.
