Shred Station acquires Paper Waste Confidential!

Shred Station announces the acquisition of Paper Waste (PW) Confidential!

We are glad to welcome PW Confidential customers to the Shred Station community.

About PW Confidential

PW Confidential was established in 1997. It provided paper shredding and recycling services to customers in Cumbria, Lancashire and Southern Scotland for over 25 years.

In 2024, the company decided it was time to pass the baton over. Shred Station was the obvious choice as another independently owned business that leads the industry with customer service and security. They couldn’t think of a better company to trust their customers with.

Kristian Carter, Commercial Director at Shred Station, oversaw the acquisition. Working closely with PW Confidential’s Owner and Managing Director, the transition has been seamless. We can happily report that PW Confidential customers are now receiving services from Shred Station. They also have a whole range of new benefits.

Kristian said:

“PW Confidential earned its outstanding reputation through decades of hard work. It is a great business to acquire and will contribute to our growing customer base in Scotland and the North of England.”

“We are confident we can surpass expectations for our new community of former PW Confidential customers with improved offerings, live service tracking, digitised processes, and a carbon-neutral experience. We are very much looking forward to meeting our new clients and building new relationships.”

What next?

This is Shred Station’s third acquisition and so far, it has been as straightforward as the previous two – Anglian Confidential and Kenny’s Shredding.

As of 1st July, all regular PW Confidential customers have been receiving services from Shred Station. Customers’ site contacts can now receive our live service tracking messages, and all compliance records such as Waste Transfer Notes and Certificates of Destruction are being sent digitally after service completion.

If you are a regular customer of PW Confidential, you should now have received your onboarding letter. For any questions about your new and improved services, please feel free to email our dedicated handover team at: pw@shredstation.co.uk

If you are a one-off customer of PW Confidential or are looking for the occasional shredding service, we are happy to help. We provide flexible shredding services in Cumbria and beyond, with full mainland UK coverage. Request a quick quote today!
