🎄 Chamber Advent Calendar - Day 19! 🎄 Today we’re proud to feature Russell Richardson, a family-run business with over 45 years of expertise in document management and confidential shredding. Founded in 1978 as a paper recycler, Russell Richardson has grown into one of the UK’s leading shredding and data destruction companies, offering a wide range of services. What sets Russell Richardson apart is their personal touch, reflecting the values of their founder. They prioritise customer service, staff satisfaction, and sustainability, ensuring 100% of shredded paper is recycled into new tissue products, closing the loop. As an ISO 14001 accredited company, they’re committed to reducing their environmental footprint by constantly improving fleet performance and energy usage.
