Olio Exchange Limited
Olio Exchange Limited ("Olio") is a marketplace connecting businesses and individuals that have surplus food and household items with members of their local community that want them. We enable these surplus items to be reused rather than thrown away, delivering a significant environmental benefit in the process. Our primary revenue driver is our FWH offering, whereby volunteers collect surplus food from local businesses and redistribute it to their local community. During FY 2025/26 Olio expanded the B2B offering with the launch of discounted food sales (Reductions Feed) via the Iceland/Gander partnership and charity food redistribution via the Sainsbury's/FareShare partnership. Our secondary revenue stream comes from our user base, either via in-app advertising or through a paid 'Supporter' subscription. Whilst our primary mission is environmental, we also provide significant nutritional, social and financial benefits for our users.

Some periods are not about 12 months apart, usually because the company changed its year end or the register holds more than one set of accounts for a year. Growth is shown only against a prior period roughly 12 months earlier.
