Preloved Sports was found in March 2021 as the nation was leaving lockdown and looking forward to a summer of freedom.
It was set up in memory of David Hill who had a heart of gold and loved to help people. We saw an opportunity that can make fitness more affordable and accessible whilst helping people in need.
We started off with a team of two, Michael & Natalie. It was a gamble as we saw how ReRun got flooded with race tees and we didn’t want the same to happen again.
On the day of our launch, we had our stock in three plastic tubs. Fast forward to today, and we have 20 supermarket crates, a mountain of boxes and bags of sportswear across two lockups.
Jack joined the team in 2022 and we took the decision to register the company as a Community Interest Company (CIC).
Since Jack joined the team and we became a CIC, we have been growing at a steady pace, processing over 750 orders and preventing over 2,300 kg of sportswear from reaching landfill, through resale, redistribution and repurposing.
Andy joined the team in July 2024 and is helping push Preloved Sports in new directions. 2025 will be a big year for us and we want you to join us on the journey. Our mission is to create a sustainable model that uses Preloved Sports to provide inspiration, opportunities and support to others.
Together, we can make it more accessible to everyone.
