The Shred Easy Blog

Following the launch of our “Name the Truck” competition, we are proud to introduce the first of our fleet to be christened. Welcome Shreddy Brek!
We launched the competition with Bowdon Church Primary School and 10 mini creatives came up with the winning names for 10 of our trucks.
In return, we awarded all 10 children with £15 worth of books vouchers and the children got to see a truck in action.
As one of the UK’s leading confidential document and data destruction companies, we expanded our fleet to cope with the increased demand and we wanted names to personalise them. We recycle 98% of the confidential data we shred and last year saved 250,000 mature trees from deforestation.

The 10 winning names include Da Shredda by Enzo Miniaci age 9, Hercules by William Atkins age 9, The Shredanator by Sze Sze Liu age 9, Shred Head Fred by Bronya Sykes age 10, Shredrick by George Holmes age 8, Roger the Recycler by Laura Jackson age 10, Shirley Shredder by Marc Kendrick age 11, Nibble by Alice Preece age 11, Shreddy Brek (pictured above) by Archie Grosfils age 8 and Maximus Shredder by Niamh Hill age 7.
The competition kicked off with a talk about recycling by Jim Watson, our managing director, and finished with an awards presentation on Tuesday 23 March, where the 10 winners collected £15 book tokens. The signwriting was provided free of charge by Signs Express of Trafford Park, Manchester.

“Its great to see this exciting competition come to fruition and celebrate the creativity of local pupils. The idea was to give something back to our community, have some fun and encourage future generations to think sustainably. Its never too early to start learning about recycling and protecting the planet.”
