London – 21 May 2025: Bioscope Technologies and sister company Network 2 Supplies (n2s) are pleased to announce key Group level appointments as both companies position to accelerate their impressive growth trajectories.
n2s CEO, Rob Bolton will now serve as Group CEO and Rob Edwards has joined as non-executive Director to help guide the Group on its expansion plans over the next 5 years. n2s Chairman, Simon Taylor will Chair both companies with he and Nick Razey remaining as the major shareholders.
Cambridge-based Bioscope is now ramping up its pioneering research and development of patented bioleaching solutions for the sustainable recovery of precious and strategic metals from printed circuit boards (PCBs) at industrial scale. With this, n2s’ newly repurposed IT recycling plant in Bury St Edmunds will perform all PCB collection, processing and bio-refining operations with its three other UK-based facilities handling the collection, refurbishment, remarketing and final zero-to landfill recycling of end of life enterprise IT equipment – including servers, PCs, laptops, mobile devices, cabling and telephone exchange equipment.
Commented Simon Taylor: “Rob Bolton has achieved a great deal during his career and he has been integral to making n2s a highly profitable well-managed company with great energy, focus and a happy motivated workforce. Rob will spend his time between Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge and he and the board will have a clear measurable way forward to ensure Bioscope also achieves its potential.
“In addition, I am delighted to welcome Rob Edwards who has worked closely with me over the last 25 years. He is a highly experienced CFO with proven expertise in audit, management accounting and corporate finance. Rob was integral to helping Nick Razey and I grow our previous business into a market leading data centre operator.”
He added: “With demand for processing e-waste at an all-time high from our major customers, the two Robs’ combined blue chip experience and ability to help grow fast moving tech companies will be invaluable as we continue to maximise the synergies and economies that exist between both companies and efficiently scale our world class recycling and world leading bioleaching solutions to meet unprecedented UK and international market opportunities. Our mission is to play a leading role in keeping the UK’s precious recycled resources on UK soil instead of losing them to middle and far eastern markets.”
