Stock we consider
01 / COMMERCIAL INVENTORYA direct route for stock that needs to move.
Every holding is different. We review the product, condition, quantity, location and commercial context before deciding whether there is a suitable fit.
End-of-line & seasonal
Discontinued ranges, packaging changes and products remaining after a season, campaign or change in demand.
Cancelled orders
Suitable stock affected by changed requirements, customer cancellations or interrupted supply arrangements.
Selected returns & open-box
Opportunities where condition, completeness and any grading or testing requirements can be understood clearly.
View our buying criteria
An enquiry is an invitation to assess the stock and does not guarantee an offer.
A considered approach
Commercial judgement, without unnecessary exposure.
We start by understanding what you hold and what matters to your business. Value recovery, speed, discretion, timing, geography and brand considerations can all affect the right outcome.
We keep supplier identities and commercial discussions private, communicate honestly and confirm the agreed terms before a handover takes place.

How it works
02 / FROM ENQUIRY TO HANDOVERStraightforward where it should be. Thorough where it matters.
A useful first enquiry gives us enough detail to judge the opportunity properly. If the stock is a potential fit, we move the conversation forward.
Share the essentials
Tell us the products, quantities, condition, location, timescale and any important commercial requirements.
We assess the opportunity
We review the stock and may request a manifest, photographs, samples, testing information or an inspection.
Agree the terms
Where there is a fit, price, payment, collection or delivery and relevant conditions are agreed clearly in writing.
Coordinate the handover
Once agreed, the practical movement of the stock is arranged around the confirmed responsibilities and timing.
Responsible stock recovery
Keep useful products in circulation. Reduce avoidable waste.
Where practical, we look for outcomes that extend product life, reduce unnecessary disposal and make stock movements more efficient. Responsible decisions should make commercial sense as well as environmental sense.
