Mission Statement
We maximise the value of technology by securely reusing and refurbishing IT equipment, promoting digital inclusion, reducing waste and conserving valuable resources.
Through strict data destruction, GDPR compliance, and responsible environmental practices, we deliver trusted outcomes for people and the planet.
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.
We are one of only a few companies in the UK to be certified DIAL 3 with Distinction to ADISA Standard 8.0, guaranteeing the highest security.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Carbon Offsetting & Environmental Targets
The services we offer our clients support offsetting against their carbon neutral targets through the reuse 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.
Our charity Partner DonateIT
Our founder Simon Barfoot set up a charity to support digital inclusion in the South West. Blackmore provides resources to aid in the daily operations.
So far DonateIT has donated over 1800 devices into our community, driven by Simon’s passion to reduce not only the amount of wasted electronics but also to tackle the growing issue of digital poverty.
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.

Acquired Ricotech Limited
Blackmore Computers Limited acquired Ricotech Limited and became Blackmore Ricotech. Ricotech brought ADISA certification and new software capabilities to Blackmore’s offering.
Acquired BluSkye Industries Ltd
Blackmore acquired BluSkye Industries Ltd, which relocated to the Chitterne facility. BluSkye specialised in non-IT WEEE reuse and recycling, enabling Blackmore to manage all 14 categories of WEEE and provide a complete solution for electronic waste.
New WEEE Regulations
The 2006 WEEE regulations gave organisations greater responsibility for reducing the environmental impact of electrical and electronic equipment by increasing reuse and recycling and reducing the amount of WEEE sent to landfill.
Blackmore was already well established in the industry and able to help organisations meet these requirements through secure, professional and environmentally responsible services.
Moved to Chitterne Dairy
The company moved to the approved authorised treatment facility it still occupies today. The former dairy was transformed into a secure waste recycling, data processing and refurbishment facility.
Blackmore Computers Ltd Founded
Simon Barfoot founded Blackmore Computers Ltd with sustainable principles at its core, aiming to reduce electronic waste and encourage the refurbishment and reuse of devices.
