THE SURPLUS MANUAL (2021) BY COMPANY SHOP GROUP

The Surplus Manual by Company Shop Group

At Company Shop Group, we don’t suggest that we know everything about surplus stock management, but we do know that we have learned a lot over the last fifty years. Our combination of heritage and innovation means that we are as passionate about surplus management now as John Marren was when he first spotted the potential in surplus stock in the 1970s.

As an extension to our Knowledge Library, ‘The Surplus Manual’ is an accessible digest of that learning. We have created it for anyone who is interested in our model and who believes, as we do, that intelligent surplus management is an asset for business, a benefit for the planet and a force for good in communities everywhere.

MORE THAN ANYTHING, THIS BOOK IS A RESPONSE TO THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVE SO OFTEN – “I DIDN’T KNOW YOU COULD DO THAT!

WANT TO KNOW MORE? CLICK HERE TO READ THE SURPLUS MANUAL.

Throughout ‘The Surplus Manual’, we share a wealth of examples and explore practical solutions for the sustainable redistribution of surplus products, many of which you may currently be treating as waste. We know that some people will come to ‘The Surplus Manual’ with a specific product or a specific problem in mind. Others have a more general interest in an area or type of stock which seems to pose an ongoing problem in their business.
