TFix

What TFix does

TFix is a UK-based IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) service provider founded in 2008 and operated as TFIX LTD from a single licensed processing facility in Mitcham, Surrey. The company delivers a vertically integrated suite of enterprise IT end-of-life services: IT decommissioning (on-site removal and packing), GPS-tracked secure WEEE collection, NIST SP 800-88 Rev.2 compliant data destruction (firmware-level cryptographic erase plus physical shredding), asset recovery with a profit-share model on refurbished resale, and certified zero-landfill WEEE recycling. Supporting offerings include UK warehousing and fulfilment, returns/RMA handling for manufacturers, and a specialist automated TCG Opal 2.0 PSID unlocking capability that recovers otherwise-unprocessable NVMe SSDs. All processing is performed in-house in the UK with no offshore brokering, and every device is tracked by serial number through a real-time client portal that issues tamper-proof Certificates of Destruction.

TFix generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven fees for decommissioning and data destruction, transaction-fee income from refurbishment resale with a profit-share back to the client, and managed-services income from warehousing, fulfilment and RMA handling. Asset recovery value can offset 30-70% of service fees on typical mixed office refreshes, and refurbished NVMe resale converts ~£1 of scrap value into £35-£50 per drive, materially improving project economics. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales supplemented by a referral partner programme for IT companies, consultants and resellers. Marketing is content-led, built around comparison guides, sector case studies and a WEEE carbon calculator targeting IT, compliance and procurement decision-makers.

The customer base spans enterprise (Tesla, Boeing, Siemens, F1, KFH, SPX), healthcare and NHS, finance and professional services, public sector and education, aviation, electronics manufacturing, and local authority WEEE reuse (notably a live contract with the West London Waste Authority). The Connected Classrooms programme channels refurbished equipment into UK schools and charities through partnerships with Business2Schools, The Restart Project and Recycle Your Electricals, providing ESG and social-value reporting to clients. Regulatory authorisations include an Environment Agency Waste Carrier Licence, ICO Data Protection Registration, Cyber Essentials (achieved August 2025) and a T11 WEEE Treatment Exemption. The company is founder-led by Tad Vaas, privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, has transitioned to corporate-only engagements, and operates with 11-50 employees.

Direct peers

• ERI (Electronic Recyclers International): One of the largest US-based e-waste and ITAD specialists offering certified data destruction, IT asset disposition, and zero-landfill electronics recycling. Highly comparable in service mix and zero-landfill positioning to TFix, though operating at much larger scale across North America.
• Crozier (Crozier Asset Management): Specialist IT asset disposition and data destruction provider serving enterprise and data centre customers with secure decommissioning, serialised reporting, and resale recovery. Comparable to TFix in the enterprise ITAD and serialised chain-of-custody offering, but North American focused.
• Sims Lifecycle Services: Global ITAD specialist providing enterprise IT asset disposition, data destruction, and reverse logistics services. Closely comparable business model and service mix to TFix, including certified data erasure, asset recovery, and WEEE-compliant recycling, but at significantly larger scale and international footprint.

Broad incumbents

Directly comparable to TFix on the certified ITAD and data destruction core, but operates as a broad incumbent with a much larger portfolio.
• Shred-it (Stericycle): Global secure information destruction service under Stericycle offering hard drive and media destruction, with broader waste and compliance services. Comparable to TFix's certified data destruction service line, but at much larger scale and as part of a wider regulated-waste portfolio.
