Royal Ahrend expands circular services internationally with new UK Circular Hub and expansion in the Netherlands

Royal Ahrend announces a significant step in the international expansion of its circular solutions. Today, the company is opening a new Circular Hub in the UK. In parallel, the Circular Hub in Veghel, the Netherlands, has expanded its operating space from 12,000 m² to nearly 20,000 m² and now features a new Circular Inspiration Centre, where customers can experience the circular use of furniture in practice. 

International expansion of circular services

Royal Ahrend has been delivering circular services from its own Circular Hub in the Netherlands for many years, building extensive expertise in furniture refurbishment. The company already offers circular services worldwide, including refurbished furniture (Revived), take-back programmes and bespoke refurbishment solutions. Furniture as a Service (FaaS) will also be offered locally, allowing customers to pay for use rather than ownership. These services are supported by on-site advice from circular consultants on reducing CO₂ emissions and achieving sustainability objectives.

By opening its own Circular Hub in the United Kingdom, Royal Ahrend is expanding on its proven approach of safeguarding high-quality standards while operating even closer to its growing international customer base.
