The Shredding Alliance Launches to Improve Secure Document Destruction & Recycling Services for Facilities Management Providers

A number of the UK’s leading independent document shredding and recycling companies have united to establish ‘The Shredding Alliance’ (TSA), a unique service proposition which aims to deliver improved customer experience, increased response times and better value for money to facilities management organisations. Created by well established companies in the industry, TSA management team has in excess of 100 years’ combined experience. Formed in response to customer feedback, TSA is committed to providing truly national coverage but with all the benefits of working with a local service provider. With independent depots located in strategic locations, from Scotland through to the South East, TSA guarantees a cost effective and nationwide service with rapid response times. Offering both on-site and off-site secure shredding services, on a scheduled and ad hoc basis, TSA ensures a highly flexible approach to single source agreements. Considering the importance of the environment in document shredding and recycling procurement; TSA only uses the latest mobile shredding vehicles with minimum environmental impact and off-site plants which benefit from energy efficient shredding technology. Daniel Hawtin, Managing Director, TSA, comments: “TSA has been created to offer facilities management organisations the benefit of a single source agreement, coupled with the standard of service that is synonymous with independent and local providers. Aside from the personal touch we can offer, what really stands us apart is our ability to offer a flexible service and rapid response times, because as owner-managers, we can make things happen there and then.” Servicing multi-site contracts on a single source agreement, TSA can help streamline the procurement and management of secure document shredding and recycling contracts. All contracts are closely managed by a single point of contact and dedicated account manager, ensuring consistency of communications at all times and only the highest service levels. Working to the highest industry standards, all TSA document handling operatives have been fully vetted to BS7858 and all service suppliers operate to ISO9001:2008 incorporating BS EN15713:2009 – the European standard for the destruction of confidential information.
