About Jason Willans

I consider myself a fortunate person to hold 2 positions in businesses that are focused around the secure destruction of data and the repurposing of redundant IT equipment. Let me give you some detail on these. Firstly why do my companies do what they do? If data gets into the wrong hands in can have serious consequences. One of the well known public cases was with Paul McCartney. and that was just on an individual level - DESTROY DRIVE As Sales Director for the UK and Europe for Destroy Drive, we work with both clients direct and the channel. We provide a very niche service of on-site data destruction. A lot of our work takes place in data centers around the world, removing data from servers, storage arrays, switches and other network equipment before it is decommissioned. However we are beginning to see more requirement to wipe end user devices (laptops, computers, on-premise network equipment) at corporate offices as well, making sure that all devices are data-secure before they leave a company. In most cases we are also additionally tasked to move the equipment on for recycling or remarketing (depending on what the client is comfortable with. To this end we pride ourselves in offering a fully managed end to end solution for data destruction and removal of equipment. IT GREEN IT Green gives our customers the assurance that their data is placed in a safe pair of hands for secure destruction back at our facility. In most cases we offset the cost of service by the value we can make from remarketing the equipment following a certified data destruction process. In some cases, our customers and partners can see some revenue back for any equipment that holds value. IT-Green operates under its own environmental permit to provide business computer recycling services. Applying the waste hierarchy (re-use & reprocessing) to everything it receives. We have a fully authorised waste treatment facility which is fully registered with the Environment Agency. So, if you're getting rid of IT. Get in touch with me -)
