The manufacturer used the invoice finance to hire four members of staff, increase its fleet of vehicles, refresh its IT equipment, and invest in marketing and online advertising. The value of the package was not disclosed.

The Grating Company plans to relocate to a larger space in Halstead, Essex, to accommodate its planned increases in fabrication and storage.

Richard Coldron, managing director of The Grating Company, said: “We’re reaching out to new clients by investing in getting our brand and products seen, thanks to funding support from Lloyds Bank.

“The advice we’ve received from the team has been crucial as well in helping us to manage this rapid growth.”
