Bibby Financial Services supplied a £2.6m invoice discounting facility to Morris Line Engineering in April.

The engineering business has two brands, Morris Line Engineering (MLE) and JW Morris.

The funding package was given to support the Morris Line management team in developing its products and markets by providing instant access to cash tied up in outstanding invoices.

MLE provides design manufacturing services for low voltage and high voltage equipment, and has exported to over 70 countries over the past 40 years of trading.

As well as its operations within the UK and Ireland, MLE has a factory in Dubai serving the electrical distribution, rail electrification and oil and gas sectors.

Bibby recently released the findings of their Q3 SME confidence tracker which showed approximately 3.1 million businesses in the UK failed to prepare for Brexit.

It also found fewer SMEs are investing than before. Seven in 10 (69%) of SMEs have made investments this year – 11 percentage points lower than the same time last year.
