A FAMILY business in Lanarkshire is set for expansion into new premises after securing a six-figure finance deal with Clydesdale Bank.
Townhill Welding Company will move from rented premises in Hamilton to a new commercial building at Broom House Farm, Auchentibber in Blantyre after receiving the loan from Clydesdale Bank.
The business, run by Andrew Newall and his son Kevin, will be able to expand its commercial footprint after the move, and they have already expanded the team with the appointment of a new member of staff.
Townhill, which was founded in 2011, and is well known in the Lanarkshire area, was able to secure the loan as part of Clydesdale Bank’s lending initiatives, providing support for small businesses to purchase their own premises.
Andrew Newall, director Townhill Welding, said: “We are delighted to benefit from this loan from Clydesdale Bank. We have been a customer of theirs for five years now and receiving this funding made all the difference when it came to purchasing our first site. We are excited to look to the future of the business.”
Patrick Burke from business direct, Clydesdale Bank, said: “It is always such a good part of my job to be able to help respected business owners in the local area expand and progress. We would like to wish Andrew and his team all the best with his new endeavours and look forward to seeing how the business grows in years to come.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
