Jean-Michel Boyer, chief executive officer of BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions UK, said: “Investing in food and drink equipment, from production machinery to packaging and processing equipment, means businesses operating across the supply chain can improve productivity and keep up with technological advances.
“The expansion of our agriculture division to include food and drink equipment finance means that we can now support businesses with their equipment needs from field to fork.
“We pride ourselves on financing the real economy and we are delighted to be able to work with businesses across the agriculture supply chain including those in growing and cultivating, in food processing and packaging, in the transportation of food goods and in materials handling for the movement and processing of food products. Digital transformation, made possible by the acquisition of new equipment through a trusted finance provider, means businesses can grow, safe in the knowledge that their costs are predictable and manageable.”
In addition to food equipment finance, BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions UK is focused in sectors including commercial vehicles, construction, healthcare, IT and telecoms and materials handling.
