About us

"Ramco has helped us simplify the process of selling older equipment. We now send a full truck of kit every year knowing that it will be repurposed rather than gathering dust and taking up space."

"An important part of the Dounreay decommissioning mission is to find ways of diverting or re-using surplus products, not just consigning them to waste. We have been working with Ramco on a successful six-month trial period, and we’re now looking to continue working together to maintain this alternative route for surplus or redundant assets.“Working with Ramco has given us the ability to recycle redundant assets wherever possible. Feeding the circular economy means this also supports our sustainability journey to achieving our net zero targets.“This has been a great bit of work by all concerned that showcases Dounreay’s achievements and environmental credentials."

"From the start, it was evident that Ramco’s business model aligned with our sustainability plan. Working with them has proved to be a real eye-opener and we’ve become much more aware of the potential in our unwanted equipment. We’ve been extremely surprised by the amount of value found in the surplus items held across the Sparq network. By adopting a circular economy approach, we’re able to implement our plan and reassure our staff and suppliers that we as a company are committed to freeing up assets in the most sustainable way possible. We’d encourage other organisations in our industry to look at finding a sustainable way to free themselves of products that are obsolete as well as purchasing recycled equipment when they need to. The team at Sparq look forward to continuing working with Ramco and finding new homes for even more equipment."

"In an industry still focused on waste and bins, we’re committed to viewing old equipment as a valuable resource. It’s critical that we help our clients find sustainable solutions that focus on repairing, reusing and redistributing materials. So, when our client approached us with a large volume of redundant but reusable assets, we knew we needed to find a way to ensure they were given a second life. Partnering with Ramco has been the perfect solution. It’s helped us to save hundreds of assets from being treated as a waste stream and enabled us to continue helping our clients on their sustainable journey. Best of all, it enhanced our contributions to the UK’s circular economy targets. We’re looking forward to working with Ramco on many more projects and seeing what other equipment we can give a second life to.”

"At Anglia Ruskin University we’re committed to doing all we can to reduce our impact on the environment and ensure the organisation is operating sustainably. When undergoing large-scale refurbishments of our catering facilities at two of our sites, we knew we needed an expert partner to help us find value in the equipment we no longer needed. Working with Ramco meant we were able to implement an environmentally friendly disposal solution that gave our unwanted equipment a second life, helping to reduce waste. This is the first time ARU has worked with Ramco, but we’re very pleased with the outcome, and would use them again."

"Following the announcement that the University would move to a new campus, we needed an efficient reuse solution that both eliminates waste and reduces disposal costs. Our growing relationship with Ramco has enabled us to implement an environmentally friendly disposal solution that ensures our unwanted equipment is given a new lease of life, helping us contribute towards creating a circular economy. We’re pleased to be working with Ramco and look forward to seeing their support expanded across the University in the future."

“We hadn’t realised that a service like Ramco’s exists, but with our volumes of surplus equipment increasing – both internally and at our clients’ sites – we knew we had to find a sustainable disposal solution.“This relationship enables our unwanted equipment to be given a second life, helping to reduce waste and generating a financial return for the business. Ramco has helped us to rethink our approach to disposal and reuse, and we are pleased with the results so far.”

“We’re committed to doing all we can to reduce our environmental impact and partnering with Ramco helps us accelerate our efforts. Their service has helped us to re-think our approach to disposal and reuse and we are very pleased with the results.”

"Working with Ramco has been fantastic for us as we try to achieve a more circular economy by providing a second life for equipment we no longer require. We are pleased to be collaborating with Ramco and look forward to seeing their support expanded across the wider group in the future"

“Ramco is our partner of choice for recycling end-of-life equipment. As well as helping us recover value from our surplus assets, their team of experts provides a quick and efficient service with minimal admin needed. It saves us time and generates income, it’s a win-win".

“I have always been incredibly passionate about sustainability in the foodservice industry, so when we relocated from our former premises, it was essential that we kept waste to a minimum. Through Ramco’s disposal service, we were able to ensure that all unwanted equipment was given a new lease of life, significantly reducing our waste to landfill. The foodservice industry is capable of producing a lot of waste, from food through to energy and equipment. The work that Ramco does to change preconceived perceptions of unwanted equipment and reduce waste is critical to the future of hospitality”.

“The advantage of partnering with Ramco meant we were able to offer our client a one-stop-shop from both a clearance and asset disposal perspective. We believe that the post-Covid working environment will comprise of smaller offices, and therefore companies will need an environmentally sound disposal solution for their redundant furniture and assets. This is exactly what Pickfords and Ramco were able to achieve for the Clinical Reference Laboratory".

"This new relationship with Ramco will allow items that we no longer need as a business to be reused by others. We’re proud to be the first Merlin attraction to be working with Ramco and we are now looking at how that this initiative can be rolled out across the Group".

"What impressed me was their determination and professionalism. The team completed all works to schedule and managed our expectations in an exemplary manner. I cannot recommend the Ramco team enough. Using them for any strip our work is now an obvious choice".

"Ramco provided a simple solution for the extraction of our surplus garage equipment. The team worked hard and communicated really well throughout, ensuring all agreed deadlines were met".

"We had previously used Ramco to dispose of surplus cleaning equipment, so I knew their capability. The communication, process and collection all went smoothly, with a better than anticipated financial return. We will certainly use Ramco on other projects".

"I was impressed with Ramco's speed of response and professionalism. They quickly understood what was needed; offered sensible proposals and above all operated safely".

"When I was initially made aware that our team needed to vacate One Kemble Street, I was expecting a significant cost to have all our kitchen equipment removed. However, the proposal presented by Ramco offered an ideal solution. A variety of large catering equipment, including fridges, fryers and ovens, was efficiently removed and resold; with us receiving a share of the sale proceeds, which could then be paid into our receipts account and subsequently sent to HM Treasury. It was a necessity that the whole process was completed quickly and effectively, with Ramco effortlessly meeting our needs and expectations – we would not hesitate to recommend them".

"Working with Ramco ensures that kitchen equipment which we cannot reuse finds a new and productive home. Our sustainability programme is focused on minimising the negative impact our operations have on the environment and this partnership is an important part of our efforts".

"Never have sustainability and environmental concerns been more prominent than in today's business world. We're pleased to have formed a close working partnership with Ramco. Through the effective reuse and resale of unused materials they have provided us with a safe, sustainable and future-proof solution for the removal of surplus assets".

“We hadn’t realised that a service like Ramco’s exists, so we’d been manually breaking down disused electrical equipment and paying a fee for this to be scrapped.Working with Ramco, who manage the full disposals process, we’ve been able to implement a more efficient, sustainable and reliable solution. We are extremely pleased with the service provided and will definitely be in touch again soon".
