Darnhall

“We would not be where we are today without the funding from FW Capital. Other types of lender do not tend to provide the certainty of funding that we required, as they can pull their facilities at any time. In an industry like ours where there are peaks and troughs, it’s crucial that we have an investment partner that really understands our business strategy whilst allowing us to retain full control of the business." 

John Matthews, Director
