Axis Group, the UK security, cleaning, front-of-house and support services contractor, has partnered with its IT support supplier, LP Networks, to recycle laptops and in turn, support charities.
The firms aim to reduce waste, support charities and keep to GDPR data protection law, having donated 15 laptops so far to the not-for-profit Successful Mums. They’re providing training and advice for women returning to work. In four years it has helped 5,000 women to build their careers and businesses through training, networking and mentoring.
LP Networks has wiped the Axis Group-owned laptops to GDPR-compliant standards, installed compliant Windows 10 software and upgraded the SSD hardware. Lee Pepper, Managing Director of LP Networks, says it’s a benefit to multiple parties: “We are extremely pleased to provide Successful Mums with laptops that are entirely fit for the training purposes they require, and also be reducing waste and supporting GDPR.”
Simon Giles, Axis Group Finance Director, says: “This is an ideal use of laptops with plenty of life in them for other purposes. The LP Networks team has also done a fantastic job in upgrading them so that Successful Mums can make use of them for years to come.”
Jane Knight, Founder of Successful Mums, says she is absolutely delighted with the new laptops: “We are extremely thankful for this initiative that will help us to deliver further training, and help more women build successful careers following motherhood.”
