Prem-Tek: refurbished business IT hardware from Wigan

Prem-Tek, trading as Premier Technologies Ltd., operates as a supplier of refurbished information technology equipment aimed at organisations rather than individual consumers. The company states it has spent more than twenty years refurbishing, upgrading and repurposing business-to-business IT equipment, sourcing stock from trusted B2B environments and then renewing components and cosmetics before resale. Its proposition rests on offering like-new hardware at a fraction of the cost of new devices, while reducing the carbon footprint associated with replacing IT.

A catalogue built around complete workplace systems

The online store is organised into broad product families that cover most of a typical office technology stack. Laptops form a central category, subdivided into notebooks, ultrabooks, hybrid and 2-in-1 machines, mobile workstations, business laptops, gaming laptops and student laptops, with further filters by intended use such as internet and social media, film watching, graphic design and video editing. The range also includes desktops, all-in-ones, thin clients, workstations, barebones systems and gaming PCs, alongside monitors with curved, portable, ultrawide, touchscreen, FreeSync, G-Sync and HDR options.

Beyond personal computing, the catalogue extends to tablets and iPads across Android, iOS, Apple, Windows, Samsung, Lenovo and Amazon models, including graphics tablets and 3G/4G or 5G SIM-compatible devices. Mobile phones are sold SIM-free, dual-SIM and 5G-compatible, with Apple, Samsung, Sony, Nokia and Google among the brands listed. Server hardware covers tower, rack, Intel, AMD, Dell and HP servers, plus a build-your-own option and power supplies.

Networking, storage, printing and components

Networking stock includes switches, network storage, routers, range extenders, access points, cables, adapters, wireless adapters, PoE adapters, wireless mesh systems, barebones units, PCI cards and server networking. Storage spans 3.5-inch desktop and 2.5-inch laptop hard drives, SATA and M.2 SSDs, external HDDs and SSDs, desktop and laptop RAM in buffered/registered and unbuffered formats, USB flash drives, memory cards, NAS drives and NAS enclosures.

Printing and scanning equipment is divided into label, inkjet, laser, multifunction inkjet, multifunction laser and free-standing printers, scanners and printer accessories, with Dell, HP and Brother among the brands carried. The components section lists graphics cards, processors, motherboards, CPU cooling, thermal paste, case fans, power supplies, PC cases, and replacement batteries for laptops, mobile phones and tablets. Peripherals and accessories complete the offer: adaptors and cables, mice, keyboards, speakers, headphones, docking stations, gaming controllers, charging trolleys, bags and cases, chargers, privacy screens and mouse mats.

Sector-based purchasing

Rather than browsing only by product type, buyers can enter the catalogue through sector pages. The sectors named are public services, education, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, construction, IT and data, SMEs, police, councils, food, utilities and aerospace. A parallel browse-by-use structure groups products for business, home use, big data, film watching, internet and social, gaming, student and graphic design. The site also maintains sections for special offers and best sellers.
