Companies with spare capacity to sell can put it on the website where buyers across the UK can purchase that capacity at marginal cost, keeping the machines running. "It's a win - win situation", added Andy.

Barry Lomas, co-director said: "We have designed the site to give an indication of quality in both directions.

The purchasers can rank the quality of the service that they have received and the companies providing the service can rank the purchaser. We feel it is important that the purchasing companies are confident about the services they are buying. And it is as important that the companies selling feel confident that they will be treated well, paid on time and are entering into a relationship with a quality company".
