Event Success |
||
| We had a brilliant time at Focus on Fulfilment 2025 joining forces with our partners at ReBound and Reconomy to explore the future of sustainable retail services.
The event was packed with energy, ideas, and inspiring conversations. It was fantastic to connect with so many forward-thinking professionals who share our passion for building smarter, greener supply chains. From intelligent returns to circular solutions, the discussions reinforced how collaboration is key to solving today’s biggest retail challenges. A special shout-out to Aimée Campanella, Stuart Greenfield, Jonathan Heap, and Peter Holloway for representing Team Reconomy with such insight and enthusiasm. If we didn’t get a chance to chat, it’s never too late to start the conversation. Whether you’re exploring new ways to make your supply chain more sustainable or just curious about what’s possible, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch. |

Sustainable Fashion |
||
| We wrapped up September with our Second Hand September Pop-Up Stall in partnership with Oxfam.
Together, we gave pre-loved clothes a second life, raised funds for a great cause, and took a meaningful step towards sustainable fashion. Dozens of quality items donated by ASC colleagues which in turn raised hundreds of pounds raised through £1 purchases and then all remaining items donated directly to Oxfam to help them raise funds through resale in their shops to support their global poverty-fighting efforts. This initiative wasn’t just an excuse to refresh our wardrobes, it was a reminder of how small actions can drive big change. Thank you to everyone who donated, shopped, and supported. Your generosity and spirit made this event special. |
