Rebuild has sadly announced that it will cease trading at The Reuse Hub in Dixon St on 30th June and is offering discounts on building materials to VCSEF sector organisations.
*Please note that Wood Saints is continuing to trade with their bespoke furniture and wood sales.
To all our Reuse Hub supporters,
I am writing to pass on the disappointing news we are unfortunately ceasing to trade at The Reuse Hub facility on Dixon Street in Wolverhampton on the 30th June 2025. For those that have diverted materials to us, thank you again, materials still in stock will be redistributed to the local community, to charity projects, allotments and community groups. This is the statement that we are putting on our social media and website.
They say that you learn as much when things don’t work out as you do when things are successful, and The Rebuild Site team definitely have plenty of food for thought following a difficult decision to cease trading at The Reuse Hub at the end of June. As a new ‘disruptive’ business model, setting up and operating construction materials reuse hubs has its challenges, but we went into the initiative in Wolverhampton having high hopes that we could replicate the success of our Carlisle facility in much shorter timescales. However, with different external factors and overheads being more than our newly established venture could cover once the kickstarter funding finished, we have run out of time.
We gave it our all and will ‘never say never’ regarding a West Midlands construction material reuse hub but for the time being the Rebuild team is focusing our attention on moving our Carlisle facility to a new location within the city, and our ‘Rebuild in a Box’ offer. We would like to thank those in the local area and the wider construction industry that supported us in Wolverhampton, including the staff and volunteers at Wood Saints who are continuing to trade with their bespoke furniture and wood sales.
A final request would be that if anyone reading this – or that you know, particularly community groups or charities – is in need of any construction materials please call or email as we need to move on as much stock as possible, everything will be priced at very low cost or for free as from today.
If you have any questions or queries on stock that you might be interested in then please get in touch.
Kind regards
