About us
Unlocking human potential through repurposed technology
Why we exist
Nick Rawkins, CEO and Founder
At Reconome, we believe that everyone, no matter their background or circumstances, deserves the chance to live a healthy life, pursue education, build a meaningful career, and follow their passions.
In today’s world, technology and digital skills are essential to unlocking those opportunities. Yet in the UK alone, over 11 million people remain digitally excluded, cut off from the very tools that enable connection, learning, and growth.
Reconome was founded in 2018 to change this by repurposing technology to break down barriers, close the digital divide, and create opportunities for people and communities to thrive. A philosophy and eco-system that benefits all stakeholders, without compromise.
We are levelling the playing field by making it possible for anyone to access technology and doing it in a planet-friendly way that genuinely serves people and communities.
As the tech partner of Good Things Foundation, we power the National Device Bank, the UK’s leading digital inclusion initiative.
Our Mission
To serve communities in need by repurposing technology to unlock human potential and create sustainable IT solutions that reduce e-waste and Scope 3 emissions.
Our Vision

Real Impact: St Austin's Story
When the pandemic hit, St Austin’s Catholic Primary School faced a critical challenge: many students lacked access to technology for remote learning.Â
“We identified that we could buy more Chromebooks than the equivalent in new laptops which importantly allowed us to reach all students.
We also took the money-saving aspect a step further, and rather than purchasing brand new, we looked into the feasibility of recycled devices from Reconome; something which we had never previously pursued has since proved a smart decision.”
