Multi-million pound mobile deal for Morecambe firm

Local accountancy and advisory firm CLB Coopers has supported mobile remanufacturing company EcoRenew Group, which has a base in Morecambe, in its multi-million pound acquisition of Mazuma Mobile as part of its global expansion plans.

The acquisition of Mazuma Mobile, one of the UK’s largest and most well-known B2C mobile phone take-back providers, comes just a few weeks after EcoRenew’s successful acquisition of Lancaster-based data protection specialist ICT Reverse, making the group the first true end-to-end solution, from a single company, within the IT and telecoms market.

Headed up by CEO Mark Chambers, EcoRenew Group was founded in 2016 in Hong Kong as a mobile refurbishment specialist and has since witnessed exponential global growth, with operations now located in Morecambe, London, Dallas, Tokyo, Manila and Dubai.

The group is pursuing a multi-million expansion strategy as it builds a fleet of bases within Europe to complement its growing product and service portfolio. Its current services include data protection, asset recovery, consumer trading, repair, financial services and remanufacture solutions to its clients.

John Lam, co-founder of Mazuma Mobile, commented: “Our announcement with EcoRenew is another solid step in our journey to further cement our position as market leader in the UK handset recycler market. This partnership will help us deliver an even stronger proposition to our customers with the impressive set up at EcoRenew and will also provide us with opportunities to expand to other parts of the world. It’s the launch of a new and exciting chapter for Mazuma Mobile.”

EcoRenew Group was supported throughout the acquisition by the Corporate Finance and Tax teams at CLB Coopers. Senior Director, Rob Richardson headed up the transaction with the support of fellow Senior Director, Tony Whiteway, Director, Ryan Wear and Senior Manager, Jenny Pape from the firm’s Lancaster team.

Rob said: “We were obviously delighted to support Mark and the team throughout another successful transaction, and with more in the pipeline, this looks set to be a very exciting year for the group and its sector.
