Computer Aid International, the non-profit supplier of refurbished Pentium class
computers to schools and community organisations in developing countries, has appointed
Richard Kendall as Director of Business Development.
Richard will be responsible
for overseeing and managing the PC donations process, which will include streamlining
and increasing current supplies. He will also oversee the finance, human resources(
HR) and facilities management.

Richard joined Computer Aid International from youth charity Raleigh International
where he held the position of Director of Resources for more than ten years.

Richard said: “The upcoming Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive
which became EC law in February 2003 and will become UK law by Autumn 2004 has made
many companies and individuals rethink their PC disposal strategy. Once the law 
is ratified we are hoping that a charitable donation will be seen as the quick and
easiest solution to WEEE-compliance.”
