has been its partner for 14 years. Paul Brooksbank, a partner at
the bank said: “Shire Leasing has had a magnificent year and we are
thrilled to see a business with strong local roots doing so well
and bolstering the economy.”

Worton said: “The business has grown rapidly and a strong and
focused management team has helped to make it possible.”
