   The Story so far..  

We are an emerging Social Enterprise based in Mansfield. We have been in existence since March 2008 and are part of Building Blocks Solutions a Social Enterprise of six years. Working in partnership with West Notts College we have a remit to establish an exciting series of Social Enterprises to provide work placements to young people who may have a learning difficulty. As a Social Enterprise our primary aim is to provide a quality trading service with the following Social aims: 
  • Provide opportunities for young people to learn about business practice.
  • Quantifiably increase the confidence, skills and esteem of all our work placements whilst they are with us.
  • Provide a quality service which our work placements, consumers and partners can believe in and trust.
  • Work to establish a financially self sustainable Social Enterprise

    What we are not...   

Whilst our Social aims are really important to us we don’t want to be thought of as another charity selling second hand items a la Steptoe & Son!  We are passionate about the potential of Social Enterprise to provide quality services which customers want. We believe Bay 6 Trading can provide a quality service and help our work placements reach their full potential. Put another way we aim to offer a professional, quality service first and foremost. If customers like our Social aims then that’s a bonus!

   Where are we now?  

We have spent the summer selling rare China and collectable items on behalf of the Nottinghamshire Hospice via our ebay shop. This has been a success and our customers consistently value our quick delivery, honest product descriptions and excellent packaging.  This standard of service has enabled us to successfully sell and ship items across the globe to customers in Russia, South Africa and Australia. Our Ebay shop is called bay6trading, click here to take a look!



   Where do we want to be?  

Whilst selling collectable China has been a good learning experience for our work placements the process is very labour intensive. To sell each item effectively it is time consuming to research and prepare a listing. To help establish a viable business we need to be able to sell in larger volumes and that means holding stock of individual product lines. 

 

 

 

   How are we going to get there?  

We are looking to work with local business partners to sell branded clearance stocks across via ebay. We believe that as we do this we can start to attract repeat business to build our credibility as a reliable business partner. What’s more as our business develops we wish to explore the opportunity to sell items via our own website. 

   

   How can we help you?  

If you have clearance stock which you would like to sell to improve your cash flow or alternatively you would like your business to embrace the corporate social responsibility agenda please get in touch.
