Shropshire business named in UK’s Green Growth 100

Preloved Tech Ltd, based in Newport, Shropshire has been selected as part of the Green Growth 100, an initiative launched by Small Business Britain in partnership with BT to spotlight small businesses successfully using sustainability as a core driver of growth. 

The Green Growth 100 champions one hundred small businesses across the UK that are embedding sustainable practices into their operations - from cutting waste and energy use to rethinking supply chains, attracting new customers, and strengthening long-term resilience. 

Founded in 2019, Preloved Tech Ltd has been led by Matt Giles and Nicola Atkins, who have placed sustainability at the core of the business. Through secure and sustainale technology recycling solutions, ensuring technology hardware is diverted away from landfill and given a second lease of life, the business has shown how responsible practices can deliver both environmental impact and commercial success. 

On being named in the Green Growth 100, Matt said: 

“This recognition is a real milestone for Preloved Tech. Being included in the Green Growth 100 validates our belief that sustainable technology and commercial growth can — and must — go hand in hand. We’re proud to be proving that circular tech can scale while delivering genuine environmental impact.”

Michelle Ovens CBE, CEO and Founder of Small Business Britain, said: “The Green Growth 100 celebrates the small businesses that are showing sustainability and growth go hand in hand. These businesses are not only reducing their environmental impact, but also strengthening their operations, engaging customers, and building more resilient business models. [Insert your business name] is a brilliant example of how sustainability can fuel long-term success.” 

This Green Growth 100 follows the work of the Willow Review, an independent, Government-backed review into the financial benefits of sustainability, which was co-chaired by Small Business Britain with BT sitting as a Steering Board member. The Willow Review published its landmark recommendations last summer, outlining a roadmap to unlock the vast financial opportunities of sustainability for Britain’s 5.6 million small businesses. 

Chris Sims, Chief Commercial Officer, UK Business, at BT, added: “The businesses in the Green Growth 100 are setting the benchmark for how sustainability can unlock innovation and commercial opportunity. It’s inspiring to see how small businesses across the UK are turning greener practices into real business growth. We’re proud to support this initiative and congratulate [insert your name] on being recognised.” 

As a business featured on the Green Growth 100 Preloved Tech Ltd will also be in the running for the Green Growth Awards - hosted by BT on 12 March 2026 - which will see two standout businesses from the line-up awarded a £5,000 grant to help them to scale their sustainability ambitions and continue driving positive change.
