Tony Aspey, managing director at Thomas Loughlin, said: “We wanted to partner with a local, accessible funder that could support our business in a fast and hassle-free way. BFS demonstrated impressive attention to detail and were prepared to be flexible and go to lengths other funders weren’t.
“Receiving customer payment on time and maintaining an efficient level of working capital is crucial to our day-to-day operations, and the invoice finance facility is allowing us to get on with business rather than chasing export debtors.”
In April this year BFS provided a £2.6m invoice discounting funding facility to Morris Line Engineering, an engineering business with two brands – Morris Line Engineering (MLE) and JW Morris.
