This week our CEO celebrates 20 years with the company!
We want to take this opportunity to celebrate with, and let our network know, that it is our CEO, JohnRussell’s 20th work anniversary here this week!
John has been a kind and considerate team leader, taking the time to understand his team’s needs and he is always, when able, up for a chat. Thank you from all the team at ICEX GROUP!
Before John dove into the business side of sustainable electronic equipment management, he educated himself across 10 years in the 70s and 80s.
His higher education journey began at the University of East London School of Architecture, Computing and Engineering, gaining a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering between 1978 and 1982.
Then, again at the University of East London School of Architecture, Computing and Engineering, John gained a Master of Science (MSc) in Systems Engineering from 1982 to 1984!
This allowed him to go for PhD studies in IT at the University of Bath from 1984-1988! This is why he’s now Dr John Russell, aha!
Then, on top of all this, John attended the University of Bristol to gain a further Master of Science (MSc) in Engineering Management between 1995 and 1998!
It was then time to make a difference by utilising the vast knowledge acquired. This led John to founding Recycling Your IT in 2005. In his words:
“I have always had a passion for technology, and successfully predicting its future use. In 2005, I combined that with my enthusiasm for future sustainability and the promotion of technology reuse when I created "Recycling Your IT", and since 2015, I've developed a new passion for information and cyber security.
“The merger of my old company at the end of 2016 with "ICEX Technology Repurposing" has given me the platform to grow the business and offer best-in-class service to even more clients.”
ICEX GROUP has evolved now into what it is - and from John’s original company to merging with the previous iteration of ICEX, has led us to offer a very complete service - with our focus now being on reviving equipment for reuse, repurposing or relocating and, only when necessary, sending equipment for recycling.
