About Me

Black and white portrait of a man with short hair wearing a plaid shirt and a smartwatch, posing with crossed arms against a plain background.

I’m Simon, founder of Rare, a search engine to bring buyers and sellers of reclaimed materials together and make it super easy to do business.

My background is in telco-engineering and fintech. This is not however, the latest new-fangled, AI powered platform. It’s a network of people.

On one side I represent a collective of the finest reclamation, vintage and antique dealers across the UK. On the other side I look to serve a diverse group of clients from interior designers, architects, restorative builders, retail & hospitality entrepreneurs and private collectors.

Both sides have a shared passion; to integrate reclaimed, salvaged and antique rare materials into modern day living.

So proud of my offering am I, that I offer a 100% money back guarantee to any customer not delighted with my service.
