Apple recycling and spare parts specialist snapped up by Restore Technology

A Liverpool headquartered Apple recycling and spare parts business has been sold to listed company Restore.

The Surrey-based document management, commercial relocation and IT recycling business said the acquisition of The Bookyard will strengthen its capability in the growing recycling market for Apple products with businesses.

The Bookyard has grown over the last 15 years to be a leading parts supplier, repair centre and website for refurbished Apple products.

It operates two websites, mac2cash.com and click4mac.com, offering trade-in and recycle options for Apple products throughout the UK.

The company is expected to generate revenues of approximately £1.2m a year.

Restore CEO Charles Bligh said: “The Bookyard has been on our radar for some time and we are delighted that Nick Gillard and his whole team will be joining Restore Technology.

“We have achieved considerable growth in our Apple products line over the last few years but the significant brand awareness and expertise that The Bookyard will bring will deliver increasing momentum to Restore Technology in the all-important Apple recycling market.”
