Genuine Solutions Group - Expert Impact

Chris McBride,

Genuine Solutions Group

Met with Roland Lamb

We’re on a mission to save planet Earth. We exist to reduce the impact of the mobile industry on the environment, one recycled product at at a time.

This includes recovery and repair of broken devices, harvesting valuable components and accessories for reuse in other devices, erasing hard drives and, where a device has no commercial value, delivering ethical recycling and recovery of core components for reuse. We also distribute recycled stock (as well as some new mobile accessory brands) via a network of trusted online and offline retailers around the world.

Roland provided valuable advice and insight which was really impactful and has helped me shape my thinking. He was clear, concise, provided objective feedback to the questions I posed and provided good insights.
