CPR COMPUTERS LIMITED

What CPR COMPUTERS LIMITED does

CPR Computers Limited is a UK-based, registered Not For Profit organisation (Company Number 10623480) that refurbishes and resells second-hand IT equipment directly to consumers, small businesses, and wholesale buyers. Founded in 2014 in Godstone, Surrey, the company became a Not For Profit in 2017, committing the bulk of its profits to UK charities with St Catherine's Hospice as its flagship partner; it has cumulatively donated over £100,000 to date.

The company operates an e-commerce storefront at cprcomputers.co.uk selling refurbished desktops, laptops, monitors, smartphones, tablets, and computer accessories across brands such as Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, Samsung, and Apple, with price points starting at £49.99 for monitors and £89.99 for laptops and desktops. Underlying operations centre on a refurbishment process of professional testing, hardware upgrades, certified data erasure, cleaning, and quality checks carried out by technicians at the Surrey warehouse. Every unit ships with a 90-day standard warranty, next-day DPD tracked delivery across UK mainland (free over £50), and click-and-collect from the warehouse.

CPR runs two wholly-owned subsidiaries: CPR Computer Recycling, a carbon-neutral arm handling responsible end-of-life IT disposal (with a 10% recycling discount tied to new purchases), and RPC Components, which manages the wholesale, trade, and export channel for bulk job lots. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time transactional sales of refurbished hardware, with no disclosed subscription, financing, or recurring revenue model, and no external shareholders or institutional investors.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Amazon Renewed: Amazon's refurbished-electronics programme offering laptops, desktops, and consumer electronics with warranty. A scale competitor operating within a much larger e-commerce platform.
• Currys: Largest UK electronics retailer, with growing refurbished and second-life offerings. Competes for the same consumer electronics demand but across a much broader new-product portfolio.

Direct peers

• Back Market: Global online marketplace dedicated to refurbished electronics (laptops, smartphones, tablets). Closely comparable to CPR's core B2C refurbished-IT value proposition, with much greater scale and geographic reach.
• CeX: UK high-street and online retailer buying and selling refurbished consumer electronics, computing, and gaming. Directly comparable customer base and product categories to CPR, with a much larger UK retail footprint.
• Tier1 Online: UK refurbished IT supplier targeting businesses with warranties and bulk offerings. Closely comparable in product mix and B2B/SMB orientation.
• Music Magpie: UK refurbished electronics and media reseller with both B2C and trade channels. Overlaps CPR's circular-economy model and customer segments (budget-conscious UK consumers, SMBs).
• Reboot IT: UK-based refurbished computer reseller targeting consumers and small businesses. Directly comparable product categories, pricing tier, and value proposition.

Emerging players

• Envirofone: UK-based refurbished mobile phone specialist. Comparable on circular-economy mobile resale; narrower in scope than CPR's multi-category IT refurbishment model.

Others

• Dell Refurbished: Dell's outlet for refurbished Dell hardware. Competitively positioned against CPR's Dell-branded laptops/desktops but with OEM-direct sourcing and warranty backing.
• Apple Certified Refurbished: Apple's direct-to-consumer refurbished store, a key alternative for buyers considering used MacBooks and iPads that CPR also sells. Represents OEM-direct competition rather than a marketplace peer.
