News: thinc i.t. choose Fusion @ Magna in Rotherham

A "green" IT systems recycling company has chosen one of Britain’s greenest business centres, in Rotherham, as the base for its global operation. Specialist thinc i.t. is an ethical brokering company, specialising in reusing and recycling high-end computer systems for companies around the world. Set up by one of Rotherham’s growing breed of entrepreneurs, it helps international companies comply with the Waste Electrical Electronic Equipment (WEEE) regulations by safely disposing of obsolete equipment – and reducing companies’ carbon footprint. Now it is operating out of Rotherham Borough Council’s Fusion@Magna centre. Director Stuart Ganderton has 15 years’ experience in the international computer brokering business, setting up initially in the centre of Sheffield at Aizlewood Mill. But his enterprise suffered a blow when the centre was flooded in last summer’s freak weather. Stuart asked Rotherham Investment and Development Office (RiDO) – the council’s regeneration arm – for some help finding a new base and recruiting staff. "I had a look around Fusion and instantly knew it would be a great place for the business with its iconic green walls and environmental credentials," he said. "And it’s half the cost of the premises we had in Sheffield and the same size. Not only that, RiDO gives me continual free business advice through an on-site adviser at Fusion, and its JobMATCH service helped me find two new staff."
