Removals firm Purvers eyes growth in 2013 after securing new finance

Removals firm Purvers International has its sights on growth in 2013 after securing a new invoice finance package from Santander Corporate & Commercial.

The firm, based in Gosport, Hampshire, specialises in corporate and domestic removals and also offers document security and shredding services as well as complete disposal and recycling of electrical and industrial equipment.
 
Purvers was established in 1909 and is now one of the leading independent family-run removal businesses in Hampshire. Mike Lunn acquired the company in the 1980's and was responsible for expanding the removal company into paper shredding, packing and confidential recycling which enabled the business to continue its growth despite the recent slowdown in the housing market.
 
The new funding will support the firm's three-year growth plan, which includes updating its fleet of removal vans and moving to bigger premises to accommodate the expanding business.
 
Mike Lunn, owner of Purvers International, said:  "We are delighted to have secured this new finance facility to help us invest in the business. We have been focussed on steadily growing the business over the past thirty years and this new finance will help us realise our ambitions for the next stage of its journey. It's been really refreshing working with the team at Santander, who took the time to get to know our business and find the right finance package for our needs. They made the transition from our old bank really easy."
 
Jacqui Gregory, Relationship Director for Santander Corporate & Commercial, said:  "We are proud to have been able to support Mike and his team with this new finance package. At Santander we are committed to building lasting relationship with strong, local business, and our partnership with Purvers International is a great example of this. I wish them every success for the future."
