Stuart Blackhurst — Director of Engineering

I research the consumer electronics lifecycle and protection sectors - covering trade-ins, refurbishment, insurance, extended warranties, and circular economy players that most investors overlook. My analysis covers companies like Apple, Amazon, Assurant, Backmarket, Grover, Likewize, Rebuy, Swappie, AO World's trade-in operations, Raylo's device-as-a-service model, SquareTrade's protection plans, and emerging players across Europe and the UK. I track market dynamics, regulatory impacts (e.g. EU Circular Economy Act), and investment opportunities before they hit the mainstream radar. Recent research includes company deep-dives, competitive analysis, and regulatory updates across device insurance providers, trade-in platforms, refurbishment operations, protection plan companies, and warranty service providers. Weekly market intelligence published at finsur.co.uk. Research used by PE firms, VCs, corporate development teams, and industry executives who need to understand these fast-growing but under-analysed sectors. If you need specific market intelligence or sector insights, please feel free to message me.
