Harvest Fine Foods, a England-based wholesale food distribution supplier, is set to expand its operations and relocate to a larger facility.
Established in 1995, Harvest Fine Foods is a family-owned business offering a wide range of frozen and chilled foods and it recently added fresh fruit and vegetables. The company is a member of the Sterling Supergroup, a national purchasing consortium, with an annual turnover of £400m.
The company has received a £200,000 asset finance deal from banking support provider Santander Corporate & Commercial. It used the funding to purchase a 3,000ft2 walk-in freezer, a 1,000ft2 fridge, two specialized narrow-aisle forklift trucks and racking.
Harvest Fine Foods managing director Richard Strongman said: "By using asset finance we have been able to release funds and maintain cashflow whilst undertaking ambitious growth plans."
Santander Corporate & Commercial relationship director Katie Loder said: "We're delighted to be helping a local business with a strong, expanding customer base and an excellent management team. Richard has a proven track record and we are confident the business will continue to meet its aspirations."
Santander Corporate & Commercial is part of Santander UK, a full-service retail and commercial bank providing services to 25 million customers, with approximately 1,200 branches.
