RECIPERO

Established in 2000, Recipero has built one of the world's largest proprietary databases of IMEI data identifying consumer mobile devices by serial number, ownership, theft, loss, insurance and warranty information, known clones, counterfeits and fraudulent trading information. Recipero's technology is used to detect and prevent mobile device theft and fraud; comply with legislation around the handling of secondary-market mobile device transactions; and assess whether a device can be activated on a particular mobile network. The Gloucester-based company has grown significantly since its inception and employs 20 people with operations across the UK and US.
