about us

meet the team

The concept of Barter’d blossomed during lockdown, and Amanda launched the website in September 2023.  Mark Hodgeson joined the team in January 2024, and in March 2024 we became a company. Barter’d is a UK wide, free to use, for social benefit enterprise based in Exeter.  

a shared vision 

Imagine a world where swapping skills, sharing resources, and building friendships take centre stage.  That’s the Barter’d vision.  By empowering individuals to rely less on money and more on their abilities, we are dedicated to fostering communities that thrive socially, environmentally, and economically. A world where transactions are not just about money. 

where we are  

 We have just started an exciting journey. Our research and development phase is underway, and we are assembling a local core group of users to test our innovative platform. Whether we soar or stumble , we’re committed to making this journey enjoyable! Check for updates on our blog to see how we are growing in your area.
