It has quadrupled its revenue in the past four years to £28m and expects turnover to top £40m in 2022.

“The team at Santander UK, including its Relationship Director, Craig Kelly, and Growth Capital Director, Simon Clewlow, has always proactively backed our business and growth ambitions with complete confidence, investing time to understand our strategy and vision for the future. The bank has become a valued long-term partner that we look forward to continuing to grow with.”
