About Us
Supporting a circular economy in mobile phone trading for over a decade.
Receptive Solutions was established in 2013 when founders Adam Walmsley and Simon Walsh noticed a niche in the market for robust, reliable and responsive mobile phone recycling and refurbishment solutions within the B2B market.
With combined experience in the mobile phone market in excess of over 50 years, the directors set about establishing secure and strategic connections, developing a highly effective network for the refurbishment and replacement of devices worldwide. Since then Receptive’s client base has continued to expand, trusted by a diverse and high-profile array of end users – from carriers and marketplaces to insurance companies and businesses.
Based in North West England, Receptive Solutions has extensive global reach with strategic partners situated in the Middle East, China, Hong Kong and South Africa.
We specialise in facilitating a complete circular economy for mobile phones across multiple channels within the global market. Click here to read more...
