Company Description

Like an eBay for the food industry, we enable unwanted stock sellers to trade out rather than waste food.

Many businesses in large distributed industries have a problem with stock being unwanted in one location and desired somewhere else. Takestock.com was created to be an online trading platform to make it easy for owners of stock to sell their unwanted items and to find a buyer efficiently rather than turning to scrap as an option. Takestock is initially focussing on the food manufacturing & agricultural sectors where 600,000 tonnes of food are wasted each year in the UK alone. They are an eCommerce platform and believe the future solution to distributed unwanted stock is an e market place. That is why they do not advertise on behalf of brands, publish content or produce editorials for the trades they operate in. They focus on trading and helping you turn unwanted stock into cash. Takestock was set up by 4 founders who have a wide range of experience across multiple tech & food sectors. They think it is unacceptable that nearly £1Bn in food is wasted each year in the UK and they intend to make an impact on that at Takestock.
