What Global Resale does

Global Resale, now operating as Foxway UK (legal entity: Foxway Circular UK Ltd), is a Braintree, UK-based provider of IT asset lifecycle management and reverse-logistics services for technology devices. The company serves large enterprises, public sector organizations, and consumer electronics resellers, helping them manage end-of-life, end-of-lease, and overstock mobile phones, computers, and related devices through three integrated service pillars: Recovery Services (including IT Asset Disposition, Future Price Commitment, Asset Management, and B2B, OEM, and Retail Trade-In / Buyback solutions); Remarketing Services (Redeployment, Fast Swap, Hassle-Free Replacement, Repackaging, OEM Returns Management, and Localization Services for cross-regional inventory); and Advisory & Insights (AI-powered tech refresh advisory, a self-service environmental-footprint portal, sustainability reporting, process advisory, and customized greenhouse-gas handprint reports). Revenue is generated through a mix of refurbished-hardware resale, professional services (ITAD, advisory), and transaction-fee-based buyback/trade-in programs, with pricing quoted per engagement rather than published. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales supplemented by a self-service B2B wholesale e-commerce platform and OEM/channel partner flows. The company holds R2v3 plus ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, and 45001 certifications, has 101–250 employees, was founded in 2008, and operates a US regional presence in Chicago following the January 2022 acquisition of Tech Trade Partners and a prior 2020 acquisition of CFA; it was rebranded to Foxway UK in 2023 as part of the broader Foxway circular-tech group.
