Meet Alfie, RM’s champion for HP’s Brighter Futures scheme.
The scheme helps schools upgrade to new devices while also making a positive impact on the environment. When schools purchase new HP equipment, they can trade in old devices. These are either recycled for parts, refurbished, or donated to schools in developing countries. Schools also receive cashback rewards in return. As champion Alfie is extremely proud RM have been awarded HP Partner of the Year. This award specifically recognises RM's ability to scale the Brighter Future's program across large Multi Academy Trusts. The partnership has successfully addressed the 'triple' challenge facing the education sector: shrinking budgets, aging hardware, and sustainability targets from the DfE. RM has enabled schools to secure up to £150 per device in cashback, significantly higher than standard trade-in values. One of RM's standout successes involved supporting a trust to renew its hardware across five schools, saving them nearly £12k in the first six months through trade-in rewards. For Alfie, the best part is hearing stories like these from schools about how they’ve used their rewards
