The company secured the debt financing from BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, Close Brothers Asset Finance, HSBC UK, and Siemens Financial Services.
"Securing this debt funding is a pivotal milestone in our journey to build a global fleet of over 3,600 HPUs, which will require over £2.5 billion in capital over the next decade. This funding will not only accelerate our expansion but also drive significant reductions in carbon emissions and improve local air quality while contributing directly to the UK’s net zero targets. Partnering with world-class debt funders like BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, Close Brothers, HSBC UK, and Siemens Financial Services is critical to delivering this vision and achieving these goals. This milestone supports our commitment to a cleaner, healthier future and underpins the vital role of sustainable finance in advancing global environmental goals."
The funding from the Green Business Loan Scheme will help power the Anglesey salt harvesting and visitor centre.
"Given the amount of roof space on our saltcote and visitor centre at Tŷ Halen, having solar panels installed at the site to cut our carbon output and our energy bills was an obvious next step, and the support provided via the Green Business Loan Scheme was exactly what we needed."
The funding from the Development Bank of Wales will allow the adventure hub to replace diesel power with solar energy.
"As an outdoor business in one of Wales' most impressive natural environments, our environmental impact is at the forefront of everything we do and we want to take every step we can to minimise our energy consumption and our carbon footprint. We know that this is something that's also really important to our customers, who love the environment we have here and want to work with businesses and attractions who are working hard to preserve it."
The occupational health provider has raised a £180k loan to create 17 new roles and invest in new technology.
"We’re incredibly proud of our current position as Wales’ largest, fastest growing provider of occupational health services, and we’ve always had the confidence and support of our existing clients, who occupy different sectors and disciplines. But we didn’t want to stand still – occupational health is an ever-changing field with evolving demands, and we wanted to make sure our offering remained future-proof for our current and prospective customers alike."
The London-based marketplace platform has raised $31m in venture debt from J.P. Morgan to fund artificial intelligence development and international expansion.
"We’re delighted to support Fresha on their continued growth journey"
