BFS agreed a £500,000 invoice finance agreement, providing ongoing working capital, which allowed JWE to expand its product offering and, in turn, boost revenues.
Ian Tubbs, director, James White Engineering, said: “The products we sell are very specialist and are often made by hand. A lot goes into producing these and how much we had to outsource was holding the business back. We took the decision to bring a lot of our previously outsourced processes in house but needed funding in place to do so.
“We had tried to use other, more traditional, financers before finally being recommended to Bibby Financial Services. While most other financers would take months to put our funding into place, Bibby Financial Services came to a decision in a matter of days.
“We’re continually impressed with the service BFS provide to us. The team are extremely personable and always willing to help. This year, we hope to procure new equipment and the funding support we received from BFS will enable this to happen.”
