Waterfront Ventures
How it works

Clear steps.
Real results.

How we work with you, from the first conversation to a lasting result, and how Second Tide fits with the rest of Waterfront Ventures.

Piloting with specialist recovery partners
The process

Four steps. One outcome.

01

Assess

What’s coming back

We look at returns, surplus stock and waste: volumes, value and current costs.

02

Route

Best outcome for every item

Resell, refurbish, reuse or recover, decided item by item.

03

Set up

Partners and processes

We put the recovery partners, logistics and processes in place with Convoy.

04

Track

Value and waste

Cash recovered and waste avoided, reported side by side.

The model

Different by design.

How we work, compared with the way it’s usually done.

What we believe

Our principles.

01

Value first

Recovering cash is what makes circularity last.

02

Every item counts

The best route for each product, not one route for all.

03

Honest reporting

Cash recovered and waste avoided; measured, not claimed.
