What SAS Tech Services does

SAS Tech Services (legal entity SAS Logistics LTD) is a UK-headquartered, founder-owned IT lifecycle services company founded in 2000 that provides end-to-end secure transport, engineering, data sanitization, and asset disposition for enterprise IT hardware. Its core products span Reverse Logistics (a 40+ GPS-tracked vehicle fleet with BPSS/SC-cleared crew), IT Engineering (hardware refresh, data centre decommissioning, network and AV installations), IT Lifecycle Services (Blancco-certified data sanitization, ITAD, JML support, refurbishment, and a customer asset portal), and Secure Shredding (NPSA-compliant on-site mobile destruction to 3mm/6mm/15mm particle sizes). All work is delivered by in-house teams without subcontracting, and the proprietary stack includes Blancco Gold Partner tooling, a live customer asset portal, double deck trailers, and Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 electric tractors.

The business operates a hybrid enterprise-field-sales GTM, targeting UK and European large organizations (financial institutions, government, data centre operators, global corporations) with named accounts including Barclays, Historic England, Bet 365, and an American Global Fortune 500 firm. Revenue is generated via professional-services fees (project-based logistics, engineering, decommissioning), on-demand Break Fix IT support, a token-bundle Tech Tokens subscription-like product, and downstream refurbished equipment sales through the Rapid IT subsidiary. Distribution is exclusively direct (offices in Northampton UK HQ, Rijen Netherlands, and Burnley through Rapid IT) with no reseller or marketplace channels. The company derives additional structural advantage from stacked certifications (ISO 27001, 9001, 14001, Cyber Essentials Plus, SafeContractor, AEO, Blancco Gold, UK Environment Agency) and a sustainability narrative anchored by 100,000+ devices processed annually, 24,000+ tonnes recycled, and 2,000 tonnes of carbon emissions reduced, supported by a 500,000 EUR investment in 2025 into EV fleet and double deck trailers.
