Tiny cameras from deconstructed mobile phones, LED strips and plastic vacuum cleaner handles are all to hand as engineers work on thousands of malfunctioning or outdated items at the UK’s largest electrical goods repair centre, just outside Newark.
The piles of often minuscule parts go into rejuvenating 1.4m appliances a year, from smartphones to fridge freezers. More than 1,000 employees work on identifying problems and fixing them at the Nottinghamshire facility run by electrical goods retailer Currys.
