Finally, after the shredding process, customers are given a complete audit trail confirming their compliance under the Data Protection Act.

The service, tailored to BT's requirements, has not only provided them with significant cost savings but also guaranteed the secure disposal of their confidential data,” said Jim Watson, Shred Easy’s managing director.
