Supporting growth through increased production capacity
Discover how Embello, a Tamworth‑based printing and branded workwear specialist, worked with us to invest in new equipment, enabling the business to meet growing demand and secure significant new contracts.
Customer background
Embello is a growing business specialising in embroidery, promotional merchandise, print solutions and branded workwear, which is an expanding part of the business and leading to increased demand for high‑quality services.
With growth has come the understanding that existing machinery was operating at full capacity, limiting their ability to take on additional work.
Enabling additional production capacity
To support their expansion, Director Kyle Raffo worked closely with Tom Pearse, Relationship Manager at Close Brothers Asset Finance, to explore funding options for additional machinery.
Following discussions about the business’s requirements and future workload, a Hire Purchase agreement was agreed to support the purchase of multiple Melco SUMMIT Embroidery Machine and a Resolute R-Jet Pro V8 Printer. The new machines were introduced to run alongside Embello’s existing equipment, immediately increasing production capacity without placing unnecessary strain on cashflow.
Overall outcome
As a direct result of the two new pieces of equipment, Embello has been able to secure new contracts, including one valued at £700,000.
By providing a tailored finance solution aligned with the business’s growth plans, Close Brothers Asset Finance has supported investment in essential equipment which has unlocked further commercial opportunities.
Tom Pearse, Relationship Manager at Close Brothers Asset Finance said: "Embello had a clear opportunity to grow, and our role was to make the investment simple and affordable. It’s great to see the new equipment driving results so quickly."
Kyle Raffo, Director of Embello said: "Investing in new equipment was a crucial step in keeping pace with demand and continuing to deliver the level of quality our customers expect. Working with Close Brothers Asset Finance gave us the confidence and flexibility to move quickly, and the new machines have already opened up opportunities we wouldn’t have otherwise been able to take on."
