PHS Datashred set for boom 2012
01 February 2012
2012 is set to be a boom year for PHS Datashred, the £33million turnover confidential shredding company. In preparation, Datashred has invested £1.2 m in state-of-the-art shredding equipment to service an increased client base.
Datashred’s investment includes “state of the art” new machinery in their Manchester and London depots as well as four new MDX – 1GT mobile shredding vehicles, the first to be used outside of the USA and Canada. These vehicles have a significantly increased throughput as well as allowing Datashred to tap into the market for high security shredding within Central Government.
In 2011 PHS Datashred started working with many high profile new clients including Rothchilds and various Government departments.
Anthony Pearlgood, commercial director of PHS Datashred, said:
“This is an exciting time for PHS Datashred. We’re developing the technological capabilities of the business so we can offer customers the most thorough service possible. This year we’re aiming to increase our nationwide client portfolio even further whilst being more environmentally responsible and offering a quicker service on site.”
PHS Datashred is committed to offering customers improved services and recently enhanced its fleet of mobile shredding trucks with on-board hard drive crushers. The service will make the shredding process more thorough and convenient. The vehicle is capable of shredding paper twice as fast as standard mobile shredders at three tonnes of paper per hour. This increased efficiency means lower vehicle emissions and less time that the truck needs to be on site.
The company has also invested £1m across the Crayford and Manchester depots to develop their in house shredders. Manchester’s shredder can now shred up to three tonnes per hour, whilst Crayford’s can destroy 12 tonnes per hour; that’s an increase in capacity of roughly 18,000 tonnes per annum – the weight of 100 blue whales!
