Gwyn Hicks, chief executive officer of Hardware.com, said: “Secure Trust Bank constructed a facility that was more flexible than what we previously had and better met our requirements. This source of capital puts us in a strong position for the future, as we look to diversify our services and grow our market share both in the UK and internationally.”

The business was introduced to Secure Trust Bank by David Totney at Liquidity Club. Totney said: “Having access to the decision makers at Secure Trust Bank enabled a quick and smooth transaction. The team took the time to understand the business and constructed a flexible facility that will undoubtedly support the long-term growth of the company.”
