Protect Your Information

Identity thieves need surprisingly little information to commit fraud. Even discarded documents can provide crucial details they need:

  • Bank statements and credit card details
  • Utility bills with your address
  • Documents containing your date of birth
  • Old passports or driving licenses
  • Medical or insurance documents
  • Tax returns and financial records

Taking The Risk Away

Professional shredding is your first line of defense against identity theft. Our BS EN 15713 compliant service ensures your sensitive information is completely destroyed and can never be reconstructed.

Drop-in Service

This is an excellent service, and I wish I had used them a long time ago. The bags are very reasonably priced and hold a large amount of paper. Being able to witness the shredding process is a bonus, and a certificate is provided to complete the process. I can't recommend them highly enough.
