Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG) has introduced a refurbished device programme that demonstrates how practical technology decisions can deliver measurable environmental and commercial gains.
The initiative, led by John Bradbury, Director of IT Operations and Security, follows a detailed review of how the Group procures, deploys and retires end-user IT equipment. Rather than defaulting to new hardware, PTSG has adopted a lifecycle-led approach, prioritising high-quality refurbished devices where appropriate.
The impact is significant. The programme is projected to reduce carbon emissions by 64,368kg of CO₂ annually, while generating cost savings of approximately £100,000 in its first year. By extending asset lifecycles and reducing electronic waste, the Group is lowering its environmental footprint without compromising operational performance.
Crucially, security standards remain uncompromised. All refurbished devices are fully configured, rigorously tested and hardened in line with PTSG’s information security standards, ensuring data protection and resilience remain paramount.
The move aligns with PTSG’s broader ESG commitments, which include structured carbon reduction planning and environmental initiatives across its nationwide operations. In an industry where compliance, reliability and accountability are central, the programme reflects a disciplined, forward-thinking approach to sustainable infrastructure management.
For facilities management professionals, the initiative offers a clear example of how environmental stewardship can be embedded within operational strategy. Rather than treating sustainability as a standalone objective, PTSG has integrated it into core decision-making, proving that environmental responsibility and commercial prudence can reinforce one another.
As organisations across FM examine their own digital estates and carbon footprints, PTSG’s approach provides a compelling model: measured, secure and grounded in environmental care and logical thinking.
