Turning surplus to social good

Waste to Wonder Worldwide is a UK-founded social enterprise and charity with a powerful mission: to ethically reuse surplus corporate furniture and equipment by redirecting it to schools, hospitals, and charities in disadvantaged communities across the globe. With a strong commitment to social and environmental impact, the organisation helps its clients meet their ESG goals while uplifting lives and enabling learning environments for thousands of young people worldwide.

Led by Managing Director Michael Amos and Middle East Social Impact Director Nick Glover, the organisation found a natural fit for expansion in the UAE. With its rapidly evolving business landscape and bold national vision for sustainability, the UAE offered fertile ground for Waste to Wonder’s purpose-driven operations. The multicultural, globally connected nature of business in the region also aligned well with the organisation’s international mission.

Setting up through RAKEZ further reinforced their confidence in launching in Ras Al Khaimah. From the first point of contact, the team at RAKEZ provided an onboarding experience that was seamless, supportive, and efficient. What could have been a complex setup process was made refreshingly smooth through the RAKEZ Portal and hands-on customer service—making the UAE not just the right place, but the easiest place to take their next step forward.
