Spartan Joinery, a construction firm based in Deeside near Chester, is celebrating today after receiving a call from Bibby Financial Services to inform them they have won a £2,000 cash prize as part of the specialist invoice financier’s construction finance competition.
Daniel Lewis, who set up Spartan Joinery with his partner, Lee Blundell, in the summer of 2010, says: “I was over the moon when I received the call to tell me we’d won the competition, it’s the best news we could have at a time of the year when everyone’s feeling a bit down, so we’re all very excited. As a growing business, the money will allow us to buy new tools for more specialist jobs which will improve our efficiency as a joinery.”
Spartan Joinery entered Bibby Financial Services’ construction finance competition with the hope of securing additional funding to help grow the business and achieve the goal of becoming firmly established within the industry by 2012. Danny adds: “We recently secured a large contract which is great for us and we hope this money will help us continue to grow throughout 2011, building on the successes we’ve had to date.”
