About us
Industry Leading Compliance
Certified at the highest standard in the country
Our data destruction, WEEE recycling and management systems are certified and monitored at the very highest level, so our clients have complete peace of mind.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Carbon Offsetting & Environmental Targets
The services we offer our clients support off-setting against their carbon neutral targets through the re-use of their redundant equipment and components. Every new device produced creates emissions and consumes valuable resources, whereas supporting a circular economy reduces this impact on the environment. Within our facility we use a 100% renewable electricity supplier and constantly strive to improve efficiency and reduce consumption. Our modern fleet of vehicles are ULEZ compliant.
Charitable Work &
Community Support
We are committed to supporting disadvantaged communities both locally and internationally. SKSN (www.sksn.org) is a charity based in Rajasthan, providing secondary education and care for physically challenged young people. Our founder Simon has been visiting the school since 2017, delivering refurbished IT equipment and volunteering his time within the school community. We also donate equipment to local charities and projects to support our community.
Blackmore through the years
Since the beginning Blackmore has been at the forefront of tackling WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and ensuring that sensitive data and the environment are protected.
