The Circular and Sharing Economy – Meeting consumer expectation for a more sustainable future

Sharing Economy UK partnered with Gumtree and Motors.co.uk this month to bring together a circular economy panel for their combined learning and development week - Synergy ‘21. Industry experts discussed some of the most pressing issues within the circular and sharing economy, consumer behaviour with rental models as well as environmental goals.

The panellists were:

  • Juliet Eccleston, Founder of AnyGood? and Chair of Sharing Economy UK (Moderator)

  • Ed Bassett, UK Lead from Camptoo

  • Eve Kekeh, Founder of Bundlee

  • Graeme Risby, Co-Founder of hiyacar

  • Kate Robertson, Founder/Director of Circular Arts Network

In the fascinating discussion the panel shared their experiences and insights as Founders and innovators, the impact of the pandemic on their businesses and what challenges and opportunities it has created as people change the way they consume, live and travel.

Thank you to Laura Nettley for the collaboration!
