“The Tees Valley Catalyst Fund has provided essential support in our growth plans and our ability to take on new contracts.  We are regularly asked to provide performance bonds and warranty bonds, particularly for our larger offshore wind contracts, and FW Capital engaged with us, working with our bank and investors, to provide essential support in securing this work.”

Sue Hurst, Finance Director
