About BenchCircle
A trade network built by someone from the trade, for the trade.
“Every week I watched repair shops and traders ask for a part, working stock or a device for display, hear ‘sorry, not available’, and then spend hours chasing other suppliers.”
Zain, founder of BenchCircle
Why we started
BenchCircle was started by a MacBook refurbisher and repairer working in the UK trade. Day to day, he saw the same problem from both sides: shops could not find the parts and stock they needed, and wholesalers sat on faulty stock with nobody organised to repair it.
Most of the trade still runs on WhatsApp groups and personal contacts. That works if you already know the right people, and wastes time and money if you do not. It also makes it hard to know who you can trust.
What we are building
One place where verified UK repair shops, refurbishers, wholesalers, distributors and parts suppliers can find each other, ask for what they need and deal with confidence. No commission, no listing fees for founding members, and no chasing.
Verified
Every member is a real, checked business. Badges show exactly what we checked.
Private
Your contacts stay hidden until you choose to deal with someone.
Fair
We do not take a cut of your deals. What you agree is yours to keep.
From the trade
Built around how repair and refurb businesses really work, with grades, IMEIs and Activation Lock in mind.
