AMDEA has announced that specialist small and floorcare appliance repairers E&S Solutions (DAR) Ltd has joined the Group as an Associate Member.

E&S provides end-to-end repairs of white goods and home appliances from all the big brand names, offering bespoke solutions for repair, premium refurbishment, and buy-to-sell refurbishment to extend product lifespan. Using its own in-house software, the company provides manufacturers and retailers with bespoke solutions for the management of returns logistics, processing, diagnostics, repair and distribution.

AMDEA CEO, Stefan Hay, said that E&S’s mission to ‘improve product lifespan and maintain brand reputation whilst meeting environmental goals’ perfectly aligns with the Association’s values, recently demonstrated through its Repair Before Replace campaign.

“E&S Solutions is a very welcome addition to our Associate Member Group (AMG), which continues to grow to include companies involved in the provision of training, insurance and warranty schemes, servicing, repair, recovery, refurbishment, reuse, recycling, and end-of-life disposal under the wider membership umbrella.”

Mr Hay added: “We look forward to E&S’s contribution to our ongoing discussions on how the whole appliance value chain can enhance its support of the circular economy.”

Blake Green, CEO of E&S Solutions, commented: “We’re delighted to join AMDEA’s Associate Member Group. We believe great aftersales means protecting a manufacturer’s brand, caring for its customers and keeping products in use for longer. Our Repair, Refurbish, Recycle approach brings together returns management, technical expertise and product recovery to help manufacturers and retailers retain value and reduce waste.

“Joining AMDEA gives us an opportunity to share that practical experience and work alongside its members to advance the circular economy. We look forward to supporting Repair Before Replace and helping make repair and refurbishment an accessible, trusted choice for more businesses and consumers.”
