Metro Bank has supplied clinical services provider 18 Week Support Group with a £4m (€4.5m) invoice finance line, alongside a £400,000 working capital facility.

18 Week Support Group provides insourcing services to NHS Trusts, intended to assist in the management of waiting lists in a “sustainable, cost-effective and efficient” manner, and has recently switched its full day-to-day banking to Metro Bank.
