Morecambe’s Mazuma Mobile has been recognised at the 2022 Mobile News Awards.
600 guests turned out for the gala dinner and awards ceremony at the InterContinental Park Lane, which saw the tech recycling company walk away with the trophy for Best Secondary Market Provider.
Mazuma beat other sector-leading industry giants including Music Magpie, Likewize, MTR Group and PCS Wireless to the prize.
Craig Smith, Managing Director of Mazuma Mobile, said: “It is amazing to have won the award.
“These awards carry a great deal of kudos with all those shortlisted being afforded the utmost respect within our industry.
“It is the first time there has been a category for the Best Secondary Market Provider and we were up against some great names.
“To be shortlisted in the category was fantastic but to be named as the winners was just amazing! It is a fitting reward for the hard work and dedication of all our team members which has been key to our success.’’
“We are extremely proud of our reputation as a market leader across the UK and it is nice to see our commitment to provide the best quality service for our customers recognised by the industry.’’
There was a record 112 entries for this year’s awards across 21 categories with the new Best Secondary Market Provider section proving especially popular.
Particular attention was given to Mazuma’s efforts in spreading the message of sustainability to schools and the local community through the Mazuma roadshow.
This sees Mazuma staff educating primary school children on the importance of recycling and considering the effect of electronic waste on their future environment.
Mobile News editorial director Ian White said: ‘’The quality of entries was amazing. It is quite humbling to see how much time and effort people put into their entries and how much they want to win. The winners on the night can be proud that they went up against some astounding submissions.”
Mazuma, based on the White Lund Industrial Estate, is one of the most trusted and longest standing technology recyclers in the UK, buying and selling mobile phones, tablets, smart watches, laptops and games consoles.
