We’re pleased to have supported Grimsby-based Fowler & Holden with a six-figure investment through NPIF II – FW Capital Debt Finance. This marks our third round of funding with the business. This investment is helping to enhance workflow, increase capacity and improve environmental performance, while also strengthening its sustainability credentials. Following our earlier support for the firm’s purpose-built facility in 2021, it’s great to see continued growth and Fowler & Holden’s ability to deliver high-quality foundry and engineering services to customers worldwide.

The FW Capital team had a busy couple of days at UKREiiF. It was great to catch up with so many of our contacts and make some new connections. I think it is fair to say there is loads going on in the North East and Yorkshire at the moment - the pavilions were buzzing. We saved the best for last with the water taxi back to the station ⛴️ Thanks Imogen Holland for your hospitality and a much needed brolly, and thanks to Andrew Rutter MRICS and Richard Farrey for your hospitality.

When was the last time conditions were truly "perfect" for business growth? In over 22 years in finance, I can't say I've seen it. There's always been an external factor impacting, testing confidence and creating uncertainty - financial crises, political shifts, pandemics, inflationary pressures. Yet, despite this, the North East continues to stand out for its resilience. Every day when I read the business news or scroll through LinkedIn I see: ✅ New contracts being secured ✅ Businesses expanding into new markets ✅ Management teams executing acquisitions and succession plans Yes, conditions are uncertain - and for some, genuinely challenging, but that uncertainty hasn't stopped activity. Business leaders are focusing on what they can control, often adapting growth plans rather than shelving them altogether. The North East Elevate Fund is designed to support those plans - providing flexible funding across a range of requirements and backing businesses that are pushing ahead. If you'd like to find out more, please get in touch.

£88,000 raised, our biggest total ever. And we’re proud to share what’s next 💙 Over the past year, our colleagues raised more than £88,000 for bigmoose, our most successful fundraising total to date. That support will help fund fast access to therapy and counselling for over 170 people experiencing mental health challenges across the UK. Jeff Smith, CEO and co founder of bigmoose, said: “176 people will now receive a full course of therapy because of the support from the Development Bank of Wales and FW Capital. That’s the power of partnerships like this - people getting the support they need, when they need it.” As we close this record-breaking year, we’re also announcing our new Charity of the Year for 2026/27 - Maggie’s. Chosen in memory of our much-loved colleague Dr Carl Griffiths, Maggie’s provides free, expert cancer support to people living with cancer, and to their family and friends, offering emotional, practical and financial guidance, alongside one-to-one support. Fundraising for Maggie’s begins now, with colleagues taking part in events throughout the year to raise vital funds and awareness. #FWCapital4Maggies bigmoose . Maggie's Centres

Today marked the launch of the Weston Business Breakfast, where we welcomed over 100 delegates to Winter Gardens, sponsored by FW Capital and in partnership with Weston College Group. We heard from several speakers including, David Goodall - Fund Manager at FW Capital, Daniel Aldridge MP, Patricia Jones - Principal and CEO of Weston College Group, Mandy Bishop - CEO of North Somerset Council and Nigel Beacom QVRM TD VR DL. One message stood out throughout the presentations: the passion for this part of the county and the ambition driving its future growth. But growth happens when businesses connect and collaborate. Because when we come together, opportunities grow, partnerships strengthen and Somerset thrives. The future of Somerset is being built now — and business is at the heart of it. Thank you to everyone that presented, exhibited and attended the event. Gallery of the event here - https://shorturl.at/4UmZc We also have 2 future Weston Business Breakfasts, we look forward to seeing you there: https://shorturl.at/H4iZm https://shorturl.at/Qzth9 David Crew Annelise Cowie Ian Colio Chloe Sully Shelly Mullen Natalie Hodgson Robert Dakin
