I’ve been a member of the Real Circularity Pro Network since the beginning of the year and I  have found it incredibly valuable for my startup. I have met experienced professionals passionate about their work who have expanded my knowledge of the fashion industry. This, in turn has helped me fine-tune my startup’s approach to different challenges. It has also helped me expand my connections with like-minded people and explore future partnerships.

How the Circular Business Mastermind works ?

The Magic and Mechanics of Impact focused business.

Your challenges. Our collective intelligence.

Building a business in impact and circularity brings particular challenges. How do you get brands to pay attention? Turn interest into paid work? Help clients move from enthusiasm to adoption?

The Circular Business Mastermind brings eight people together to explore these questions, draw on each other’s experience and develop practical ways forward.

Three hours each month, with a clear purpose

Everyone brings a current challenge from their business. Together, we identify shared themes and choose three or four issues to explore in depth.

Guided by Rachel and Simon, the group develops ideas, questions assumptions and co-creates possible solutions. A challenge raised by one person can unlock something useful for several others.

You leave with fresh perspectives and clear next steps to put into practice.

The mechanics: turning ideas into action

Between monthly sessions, you meet with your impact buddy for mutual support and accountability.

Together, you turn your intentions into specific, achievable actions: arranging prospect meetings, following up conversations, attending relevant events or testing a clearer offer. You agree what you will do and when, then check in on progress.

Build strategic alliances

Your next opportunity may come through someone in the room.

As members get to know each other’s strengths, offers and ambitions, we help identify opportunities for collaboration. That could mean complementary services, trusted referrals, joint proposals or a shared route into a market you have struggled to reach alone.

There is space to explore where working together could create mutual commercial value, with clear boundaries around each person’s expertise and contribution.

The magic: making space for something different

Alongside practical action, we explore how you show up in your business.

What makes your approach distinctive? How do you communicate your value? What could you create that helps the right people connect with your work?

There is space for creativity, confidence and possibility alongside the plans and numbers.

Build your business while protecting your expertise

The focus is business development within impact and circularity. You bring a challenge about growing your business; you are not expected to deliver your professional services to the group for free.

Our shared work centres on attracting clients, communicating value, strengthening offers and overcoming the barriers that can make impact solutions difficult to adopt.

Thoughtfully curated groups

Each group is limited to eight members, giving everyone space to contribute and be heard. As the community grows, we intend to create separate groups for consultants and service providers, and for brands and product businesses, keeping the conversations relevant to each business’s needs.

Bring your experience, work through shared challenges and build momentum together.

You do not need to arrive as an expert. You do need to be interested in moving beyond theory and contributing to thoughtful, practical work.

Real-world credibility

Real Circularity is grounded in practice, not theory alone.

Together, Ken Alston and Rachel Sheila Kan bring decades of experience across sustainability, circularity, product development, business and systems change. Ken’s work spans pioneering corporate sustainability, Cradle to Cradle and the development of major circular initiatives; Rachel brings hands-on experience across fashion, Circular Earth, regenerative business and ecosystem design.

In business and finance they are joined by silent co-founder Simon Hedley who has been a catalyst in our business development and commercial successes.

That experience now comes together through the Real Circularity Summit, Circular Earth and Real Circularity Academy –connecting practitioners, businesses, speakers and collaborators while putting circular thinking into practice across products, organisations and wider systems.

Our credibility isn’t about a wall of logos. It is in the work: the people engaged, businesses challenged, collaborations created and ideas moved from theory into reality.

Real Circularity Summit LIVE

The Real Circularity Summit brings our ecosystem together in person to explore how circularity works in practice. Fashion brands, manufacturers, innovators, consultants and circular economy practitioners share experiences, ask difficult questions and develop connections that can move the work forward.

From fibres and product development to resale, repair, digital product passports and circular business models, we look at the decisions and collaborations needed to turn ambition into commercially viable action. Through practical discussions and shared learning, we explore what is working, where the challenges remain and how we can address them together.

Whether you are developing your first circular offer or shaping change within an established business, the Summit is a place to broaden your thinking and meet potential collaborators. Explore our Summit website for highlights, updates and details of the next gathering.
