Category specialists price your inventory against live buyer demand across the UK, Ireland and Europe. Written, no-obligation, fair.
Single pallet to full lorry. Our logistics partners manage pickup, paperwork and customs. Funds land the day it leaves your dock.
Why sellers route their surplus through our desk instead of the usual liquidator. Three reasons, and they compound: faster offers, tighter prices, less hassle.
A lean, independent desk. No corporate overheads, no layers of account managers. The price we offer reflects that, and the service is hands-on from the first email.
No paper, no fax, no warehouse tours. Stock lists, offers, paperwork and payment all move through digital channels. That's how we keep the turnaround tight.
Built to move stock faster than it loses shelf life. Decades of FMCG category experience, one call to a decision, no broker layers adding margin and delay.
Or email us directly at [email protected]. We read every stock list that lands and reply to every one, usually the same day.
Two notes from our desk, one for manufacturers holding overstock and one for businesses carrying excess. Short version: the cost of holding usually beats the hit of clearing.
Note 01 / Overstock
Stock that sits still costs money every week. Moving it back into circulation is how cash flow stays healthy and shelf space stays earning.
We buy excess, end-of-line, best-before-passed and general overstock across food, drink and FMCG. Quick answers, honest prices, and a clear process from the first email to the lorry pulling away.
Note 02 / Excess
Excess carries costs you never invoice for: storage, insurance, depreciation. They add up every week the stock sits.
Selling through our desk removes those costs and puts cash back in the business the day we collect. That matters most to smaller operations, where money stuck on a pallet is the difference between a quiet quarter and a growing one.
Four decades of category buying across food, drink and FMCG. These are the desks; if your stock doesn't fit one, ask anyway. The answer is usually yes.
Tinned and dry grocery: pasta, sauces, cereals, condiments, baking, world foods. In date, short-dated or best-before-passed, priced same day against live discounter demand.
Soft drinks, water, juice and energy lines, plus mixers and cordials with date codes documented. Heavy, fast-moving and never out of demand in the value channel.
Ready meals, dairy, meat and frozen veg, moved on use-by discipline with full cold-chain paperwork. Tighter windows mean faster decisions: flag a date code that is nearly up and the offer jumps the queue.
Haircare, skincare and oral care, plus laundry, surface cleaners, dishwash and air care. Little date pressure, strong export demand, and packaging change-overs alone fill lorries every month.
Chocolate, sweets, crisps and gifting. Post-event seasonal stock (Easter, Christmas, promo packs) is a speciality; the clock matters more than the artwork.
Pet food and care, bulk ingredients, DIY and mixed overstock pallets. One-off clearances and full warehouse exits welcome.
Each situation has its own economics, its own buyers and its own page. Pick the one that matches your stock for the specifics, or just send the list and let the desk work it out.

We had a surplus of hand sanitiser that had expired and was costing us in storage every month. Disposal wasn't viable. Refresh took the lot, paid on collection, and the problem was gone by Friday.

With a trailer of energy drinks best-before-passed and stuck in the Netherlands, we were staring down a loss. Refresh came back with a purchase proposal inside a day and the stock has moved. Fantastic.

The questions every new seller asks, answered straight. Anything missing, email the desk and a category specialist replies the same day.
Against live buyer demand, not a book formula. Category specialists check what discounters, wholesalers and exporters are paying for comparable lines this week, net of collection cost, and put the offer in writing within 24 hours.
Yes, for most ambient food, drink and household categories. Best-before is a quality marker, not a safety limit, so the stock is legal to sell in the UK. Use-by is the hard line: we never trade food past its use-by date.
A single pallet is enough. The desk buys from one-pallet trial runs up to multi-lorry warehouse exits, and mixed pallets are fine as long as the manifest says what's on them.
Most collections happen within 7 days of an accepted offer. Urgent clearances (imminent date codes, end-of-month warehouse exits) can move in 48 hours. We arrange the haulage; you just load it.
No. Redistribution is channel-controlled: value retailers, exporters and discount outlets that don't collide with your full-price listings. NDAs and unbranded resale are available where the brand needs protecting.
Food past use-by, product with broken seals or an unsafe storage history, and anything without traceability. If we can't move it compliantly we'll say so, and point you at the right disposal route instead.
Free up space, recover value, keep pallets out of landfill. We buy overstocked, short-dated and end-of-line FMCG inventory across the UK and EU.
