Sharing Economy UK Information

Sharing Economy UK is the trade body championing the UK’s sharing economy industry – from the world’s most influential sharing economy businesses to innovative and industry-defining start-ups. The sharing economy enables people to trade space, skills and stuff and exists to celebrate to the common sense benefits of sharing. Sharing economy businesses use the power of technology to empower people, better utilise resources and reduce waste. Sharing Economy UK works closely with policymakers including the Government. It represents the sharing economy community and calls for policy changes which better protect both consumers and sharing economy businesses. Sharing Economy UK was launched in March 2015 following a Government-commissioned independent review written by serial entrepreneur Debbie Wosskow OBE, founder of Love Home Swap. Sharing Economy UK was partnered with the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), the UK’s most influential business organisation, since 2017. As of 2021, it is now part of the CBI and a new sharing economy council has been setup within the CBI’s existing main governance body.
