Redeem, the mobile phone recycling specialist based in Scotland, has been honoured as the UK’s small company of the year.
Prince Charles, president of Business in the Community (BITC), presented the award at the organisation’s annual awards ceremony, held in London.
The award for impact on society is open only to small- and medium-sized independent businesses, having up to 250 employees, and no parent company.
Redeem is an active associate member of Scottish Business in the Community, a sister charity of BITC.
The company began by being a recycler of inkjet devices and mobile phones in 1999, working out of a potato barn. Its name is a reflection of the work it does with the Scottish Prison Service, providing employment for former convicts.
Redeem has recently been awarded multi-million pound contracts by three major UK retailers to recycle their goods in exchange for vouchers or loyalty rewards, and has developed partnerships with nine leading UK charities, increasing its total number of charity partnerships to over 200.
The recycler employs 70 staff to run its operations in the UK, Italy, Ireland and Turkey. Earlier this year, it opened a new centre in Hong Kong.
