We are a collective of
“Huddled” – (adjective) Standing or sitting close together.
At Huddled we believe in working closely together to deliver success, whether that be with suppliers, shareholders or customers.
Working closely with our suppliers we are able to show them a way of not only reducing waste, but turning it into cash.
For our consumers we have shown them a way of buying big brands at prices the majority didn’t think was possible.
And for our shareholders we have begun a journey of building a new business.
OUR IDENTITY
01.

WHAT WE DO
We believe we look at things differently. Whilst others are looking ‘left’ we look ‘right’. Whether it be pioneering VR at home, or doing our bit to stop waste and reduce consumer costs we’re engaged. Our pioneering approach to business has delivered repeated success and with over 40 years of experience, numerous business exits and seven flotations under our belt we believe our shareholders are in good hands.

OUR AMBITION
We are driven by success, highly focused and highly motivated. We strive to develop not only new businesses but market leading businesses. We will push the boundaries to deliver new standards, innovating where we can with a clear focus to maximise shareholder value.

Having acquired Discount Dragon in Q3 2023, and recently Nutricircle in Q2 2024 the Huddled business is beginning to take shape. The focus is now one of organic growth taking these fledgling businesses and giving them the boost they need to take them to the next stage. A balance of additional cash for stock, acquisition marketing and data analysts is helping them develop into bigger businesses.
