Britalco Engineering

K W Autobodies
 |
Walsall born Keith Watts was able to turn the dream of running his own limited company into reality through purchasing an existing business with a loan from BCRS.
Having worked in the motor trade repair industry for 30 years Keith was well equipped to take on the business which specialises in repair and bodywork for commercial vehicles.
The transfer of sale meant that the business was not lost and Keith now has plans to double its turnover in the next few years. |
Divas
 |
Young
mum, Jay Walker had seen the demand for a specialist
Afro-Caribbean hair and beauty product business
in the Bilston area of Wolverhampton.
As a result of a loan from
BCRS she was able to get the business off the
ground and set up Divas. Now a year on from
its official opening the business has created
a solid customer base for itself and Jay is
glad that her business was given the opportunity
to become a reality. |
Grosvenor Marsh
 |
Brierley
Hill based Grosvenor Marsh Narrowboats Ltd
was able to move its production up a level
as a result of a loan from BCRS. Started just
over two years ago by Clive Grosvenor and Tom
Marsh, the business was coming to a standstill
as a lack of funding from the bank meant that
work could not continue until their first boat
was sold.
The loan enabled the
business to proceed with its next narrowboat
venture and a few months on it celebrated
the success of selling its first boat. The
company is now enjoying a prosperous outlook
and aims to increase its turnover to 10 boats
a year to meet its increasing demand. |
Quality Print Plus
 |
Quality Print Plus,
a social enterprise based in Dudley, were able
to double productivity through securing a loan
from BCRS. Through purchasing a reconditioned
lithograph-printing machine they are now able
to meet the growing demand from their customers
for high quality print work. This investment
has enabled them to process orders more quickly
and increase their production capacity. |
Sadliers Coffee Lounge
 |
Paul
Sadlier and his wife, Maxine, had often dreamt
of running their own coffee lounge in Wolverhampton.
Despite having a solid business
plan and many years of experience in the catering
trade, getting hold of finance was their biggest
obstacle. Insufficient funds meant that they
could not buy necessary equipment and stock.
It was not until they were referred to BCRS
that the pair were able to secure a loan and
launch their dream business.
Having recently
opened its doors to business the coffee lounge
which specialises in Fairtrade
products is already creating quite a stir
in the local community. |
Little Rascals Childcare
 |
When
the directors of Little Rascals Childcare,
a nursery based in Walsall, wanted to introduce
a new service they found it difficult to obtain
the necessary finance to make it happen.
A prompt loan from
BCRS meant that they were able to purchase
a vehicle and provide a ‘wraparound’ service
which now allows them to transport children
to and from schools and other nurseries.
This has proved very popular with parents
in the local community. |
