The short answer For buyers For suppliers How the Hub compares By role What we will not do

The short answer

The Hub is the only place built for the whole circular economy where every business is checked before it is shown, every enquiry is shared fairly, money is protected until the work is done, and the proof is kept automatically.

What changes for buyers

TODAY

WITH THE HUB

You check licences and insurance yourself, or not at all

Licences, insurance and permits are confirmed at the source and monitored. A lapse switches the category off the same day

Every supplier means a new account, a new form and a new invoice format

One account, one approval flow, one invoice format, across every category

Proof of reuse, repair and waste handling lives in emails

Evidence is captured on the job, fingerprinted and kept in your account for audit

Waste may end up anywhere

Waste jobs go only to permitted carriers, and waste lots only to permitted buyers

Disputes become arguments

A set route: direct resolution, mediation, independent assessment, then the guarantee

Sustainability figures are guesses

Outcomes are recorded per job. Impact is shown as a range with its method, never a single figure dressed up as fact

What changes for suppliers

TODAY

WITH THE HUB

You pay for leads sold to five, six or more firms

Each enquiry reaches three businesses at most

A bigger budget buys a higher ranking

Rankings follow a published formula. Membership adds nothing to your position

A bad lead costs you money

Claim credit within 7 days if a lead is invalid

Customers can't tell you from a cowboy

Your dated check record shows what you have passed, in plain words

Fake reviews drag everyone down

Reviews only come from real, completed jobs and orders

Admin eats your evenings

Quotes, scheduling, evidence, invoices and payouts from one app

What it means for you, by role

Facilities and estates teams.

Fewer suppliers to manage, faster fixes and a clear record of every job across every site. Staff report faults by scanning a code on the asset, with no account needed.

Procurement.

Approved suppliers, approval limits, delegations that end on time, sealed tenders and invoice matching, all with an audit trail.

Sustainability and ESG leads.

Repair, reuse and waste outcomes you can evidence, shown as ranges with their method, so your reports hold up when someone checks.

Business owners on the supply side.

Better work for less marketing spend, paid on time, with tools that replace three or four separate apps.

Manufacturers and brands.

One place to run authorised repair, take-back and product passports, ready for right-to-repair duties.

Councils and funders.

Voucher and reuse programmes that pay only vetted businesses and report outcomes without exposing residents' data.

What we will not do

We won't sell your enquiry to a crowd. We won't let money buy rankings or reviews. We won't publish an environmental claim nobody can back up. We won't hold your money ourselves. And we won't leave a refund to an algorithm.

See it with your own work in mind.
