Retired Worksop businessman returns to world of work to support growing digital company he founded

The management board at South Yorkshire-based data disposal company S2S has been strengthened with the re-appointment of industry expert Stephen Daughtrey as chairman.

S2S Group was established in 1989 and is now paving the way in the industry in how it supports the disposal of data across a wide range of disciplines with its exclusive ‘live Trakk.I.T system’ providing a unique item-by-item record of customers’ equipment.

Stephen, from Worksop, founded the Rotherham-based business in the late 1980s after identifying that the growth in technology would require businesses to have a mechanism which enabled them to dispose of their assets safely and securely.

Stephen said: “I’m delighted to be part of the team once again at a company which I still have a huge passion for and belief in.

“As the business continues to grow and expand, the team will be able to draw on my industry and business knowledge.

“And I can ensure we remain focused on delivering high levels of customer service alongside our clear growth strategy.”

Stephen joins existing board members Grant Barton, chief executive, Alan Dukinfield, commercial director and Chris Hare, sales director. Combined, they have decades of experience in providing tangible solutions for corporate data security for IT and mobile devices.

Grant Barton, chief executive, said: “S2S continues to make huge inroads into this competitive market by providing a range of unique services to satisfy the demands of an ever growing list of blue chip clients, where the secure processing and deletion of data, stored on I.T. assets, is of paramount importance.

“Having Stephen on board will only reinforce our focus and clearly demonstrates to our customers and competitors, our will to enjoy further success and growth.

“In a world where digitally stored personal, financial and sensitive data is a huge part of business process, it is imperative that more opportunities are presented for organisations to be able to recover, or dispose of, their data and assets safely and securely.”
