# Refresh Surplus

> Independent surplus FMCG clearance broker. We purchase and redistribute short-dated, best-before-passed, end-of-line and overstocked food, drink and FMCG inventory across the UK, Ireland and 16 markets in mainland Europe. Written offer we aim to return within 24 hours, paid on collection, zero landfill.

Refresh Surplus runs three desks against one job: recover value from stock that would otherwise be written off or sent to landfill. Sellers get a fast, fair offer and same-week collection. Buyers get pallet-load brand-name FMCG at 40-70% below wholesale. Finders earn an agreed finder's fee on every referral that closes.
