KOcycle Thrives in Braintree as Growth Accelerates

KOcycle’s move to Braintree just eight months ago has already proven to be a pivotal step in the company’s growth journey. The B Corp™ certified IT lifecycle specialist has quickly established strong local roots, benefiting from the district’s connectivity, community, and commitment to sustainability.

Recently, Braintree District Council featured KOcycle in its video series “Why innovative companies choose Braintree.” The feature highlighted the company’s mission to turn the world’s fastest-growing waste stream of IT waste into a force for good. The council praised KOcycle as an example of how purpose-driven businesses are thriving in the region.

The Benefits of Braintree

Since relocating, KOcycle has experienced several key advantages of being based in the district:

• Logistics & Connectivity – Excellent transport links provide easy access to London and surrounding counties, strengthening the company’s ability to serve partners and customers nationwide.
• Local Talent – KOcycle has begun expanding its team with skilled local hires across engineering, operations, and warehouse functions.
• Supportive Community – Featuring in council campaigns and collaborating with regional partners has helped KOcycle build visibility, awareness, and trust.
• Sustainability Alignment – The district’s climate and circular economy ambitions closely mirror KOcycle’s own mission, reinforcing its identity as a responsible, regionally-anchored business.

Building Momentum

During its short time in Braintree, KOcycle has already achieved significant milestones. The company secured ADISA certification, launched KODI (A platform to track the social impact of donated devices to close the digital inclusion gap) and set out bold ambitions to scale revenues. Alongside these developments, KOcycle has formed partnerships with local industry organisations, further amplifying its message and impact.

Looking Ahead

For KOcycle, Braintree is more than an operational location, it is a strategic base that provides logistical advantages, access to talent, community support, and alignment with sustainability goals. These factors continue to fuel the company’s momentum as it delivers on its vision of turning end-of-life IT into circular value while benefiting people and the planet.
