As businesses scale and digital tools multiply, many teams find themselves navigating a mess of ageing devices, manual processes, and rising e-waste – all while trying to meet sustainability targets.

Fixmytek, a Bristol-based sustainable tech company, believes there’s a better way.

Founded with a repair-first ethos, Fixmytek has grown into a full-service IT partner, helping organisations rethink how they procure, manage, and automate their tech – in ways that are low-carbon and easy to implement.

At this year’s Festival of Sustainable Business, the Fixmytek team will be hosting a hands-on “Futureproof Your Tech” zone at the exhibition. Visitors will be invited to take a quick digital quiz that helps map out their current IT landscape – from device usage to automation gaps, with tailored follow-up after the event.

📉 The Hidden Cost of Everyday IT

In many businesses, IT just… happens.

A new hire joins – someone buys a laptop. A process takes too long – someone adds a new app. But over time, these ad-hoc choices create inefficiencies, mounting costs, and excess emissions.

“Most SMEs we speak to don’t realise how much time and carbon their current setup is costing them,” says Ishaan Chauhan, COO at Fixmytek.

It’s not just about refurbished devices, it’s about rethinking the whole lifecycle:

• Sourcing high-quality refurbished tech
• Extending device life through structured repair & reuse
• Centralising IT tracking and security
• Automating repetitive admin through AI tools
• Upskilling teams to work confidently in hybrid environments

Fixmytek brings these services together to help teams reduce waste, streamline workflows, and embed sustainability into everyday operations, with visibility into carbon savings and practical support to follow through.

🌍 Supporting ESG Goals Through Tech

Fixmytek helps organisations align IT with broader sustainability strategies by offering clear metrics, guidance, and systems that make progress measurable.

Their Sustainability Metric Tracking service gives clients insight into CO₂ impact, digital waste reduction, and reuse ratios – building real accountability into the tech they rely on.

Beyond client work, Fixmytek’s community-led initiatives include:

• Digital inclusion programmes at Bristol University (UWE), repurposing ex-university tech for low-income individuals
• Drop-in e-waste repair pop-ups and donation drives
• Workshops and career opportunities for students and recent graduates, including internships, paid training, and job opportunities in engineering and other fields

“We believe access to technology should be a right, not a privilege, and that sustainability has to include people, not just products,” says Casey Sather, CEO.
