A bit about us...

We are thrilled to announce an exciting rebranding from the 'Renewable Retail Hub' to 'The Hive'. But this is far from just a name change; it marks a significant evolution in our mission and values. Our new tagline, "Working Together" encapsulates the spirit of collaboration, community, and the support of small businesses that drive everything we do.

Why 'The Hive'?

A hive in nature is a place of unity, where every member plays a vital role in achieving the end goal. This metaphor perfectly represents our vision for the future. At The Hive, we believe in the power of community and the strength that begins with working together. Our rebrand reflects this commitment to fostering connections, whether it’s between customers, local suppliers, or our dedicated team members.

As The Hive we're doubling down on our promise to have a vast selection of unique and sustainable items, which in turn shine a spotlight on our local business' crafts and products. Our customers can expect the same services they've come to know and trust with us, with an even larger sense of collaboration.

Including all of this, we also promise our customers a fresh and new shopping experience when inside The Hive. From a new look and feel in our shop to an established online presence, every aspect of The Hive has been carefully considered with our customers in mind. We are committed to making it easier and more enjoyable for you to shop sustainably, while also encouraging feedback on our performance to receive and grow from.


 

Supporting our Community

"Working Together" isn’t just a tagline—it’s a pledge. We promise to support local artisans, small businesses, and eco-conscious brands. The Hive will continue to serve as a platform for these businesses to thrive, ensuring that every purchase you make supports them and overall contributes to a more sustainable future.

In addition, we will be hosting multiple events and workshops throughout the year. Whether it’s craft-related, book readings or seasonal events, The Hive is committed to bringing people together to make a real difference.

Meet the Team

Marie

Hello, I'm Marie and I'm the Founder of 'The Hive Scotland Ltd'. I've always had a strong passion for arts, crafts and supporting the local community. With this passion in mind, I strived to start my own business to give local small businesses an outlet to sell their crafts and show their talents. This mission would be met in late 2023, when I opened my own shop in Bo'ness (then under the name of 'Renewable Retail Hub').

​

With our rebrand to 'The Hive Scotland Ltd', our mission to support the local community has only grown stronger. With over 40 sellers in the shop, and seasonal events planned throughout the year, we hope to see new faces coming in!

Craig

Hi there! My name's Craig and I'm the Social Media Manager for 'The Hive Scotland Ltd'. My responsibilities for the shop include keeping all of our social media (Facebook, Instagram etc.) up to date with Trader Spotlights and event details as well as keeping this website up to date.

​

Currently, I'm also on a two-year Media Course at College where I've gained experience with website design, proofreading text, social media management and a lot more! I'm delighted with my position in The Hive for this reason since it links very closely with what I want to do and continue in the future.
