Hey Hey

Price's - The Team had a meeting yesterday to Discus our prices. We were finding that they were unbelievably cheap from customers and colleagues. We looked at our current supply and demand (Also creating a supply and demand graph) finding the best price for our market and still keeping us cheap and affordable. The new prices will be on our website soon http://www.live-tech.co.uk/
More Stock Due to Arrive - Tomorrow Livetech have other pickup of recycled IT equipment from a local church Charity. Livetech are doing this service all for free except for our van hire which is £20. Also the team are coming in on their day off to sort it out! (thats commitment!)
Big Challenge Report - The Team are have now got a draft our final report!
Our Website - Also we are creating a Livetech online store! Which will soon to be up and running soon. This will allow us to show offers, sales and stock ready to buy.
New Stock - Livetech got brand new computer components to sell to the public today. Instead of just selling recycled parts , we are going to trail selling brand new as well. If this goes well we will buy more new parts in!

Recycling Why Do it?!

Did you know!?

Two million working Pentium PCs end up in landfill sites in the UK every year.

Nevermind all the others such as AMD Pc's!

Computers are a main contributor to electronic waste (e-waste), which pose a major disposal issue because they are made up of various components that are toxic to the environment.

The Institute for Local Self-Reliance estimates that 75 percent of obsolete electronics are currently being stored, which will one day result in a massive disposal issue for the country and the world.

Thats why Livetech business idea came from!

You may think your old computer is a pile of rubbish, but instead of throwing away and make more hassle on the environment. Why don't you recycle it!

Our Aim of our business is to train new people and get them into IT (One of the biggest growing industries there is)through apprenticeships sending IT equipment to us we are able to teach,learn and fund this. Also we do administrator apprenticeships.

Many people don't want to spend hundreds of pounds on new flash computer! (Like us silly numptys at Livetech) as we've found by our customers they either want a computer to just use course work and use the email. Starting at around £20 you can get a computer what does all this, saving you a fortune.

So in the end everyones happy! Its like a big circle

Recycling >> New apprentice's >> Selling Pc's >> Cheap Services >> More apprentices!

They have all been sold for a bargain of £20 each! KERCHING!

Look out for video blogs soon which are going to be really good :D

Yet other blog by the LiveTech team.

Alots been going on this past week and we have lots of plans for the business. Today we have been busy with customers and jobs to do, the livetech team have been off there feet all day! (Don't be surpised we do actually do work!...Sometimes).

Over the last few days we have sold 5 pc's! And alot of components.We are getting more and more customers everyday as word of mouth is getting around about us.KERCHING!

We have plans to refurnish and decorate company, we have new equiment (example: Desks,chairs etc) on order and we are going to give this place a lick of paint sometime soon, making lifetech all new and sparkily.

Also the livetech team are due to get uniforms! Pink and Black (The guys will get a chance to get to know their feminine side lol)

The team are busy non-stop trying to ready Computers to meet the demand of customers. Every computer which comes in to us have to have a 7 pass wipe (format) of the hardrive and have to have ubuntu and of course making sure it all works. The 7 pass wipes takes half a day to do! As soon as a computer is placed on the shelf its gone again!

There are also talks of getting some huge recycling business with some of the companys around sheffield (cant mention any names just yet) This could be huge for livetech bringing possibly hundreds of pc's in for us to refurbish!

Well the livetech team must be off!

Will give you all an update if anything new arises! Also if your having login problems with the Big Challenge website please email us on
