We were recently asked to work with a leading air conditioning supplier in the UK, to help provide new IT hardware to update their ageing infrastructure.

Our client is a large nation-wide corporation, with some high-calibre clients, so having a working and efficient IT system is essential to their continued success and innovation. We helped provide over £75,000 worth of IT hardware finance, to allow them to purchase new servers, desktops, various pieces of IT hardware, and new software.

When it comes to food preparation, having sub-standard processing equipment can often lead to sub-standard food, and in some cases can even present a danger to its operators and customers.

So when we were asked by a locally-renowned butchers in Dudley to help provide finance for a new state-of-the-art mincing machine, we knew how important it was that this butcher could get the new equipment needed, and in a timely fashion.

The quick assessment and treatment of animal injuries can often mean the difference between life and death. When dealing with big animals – such as horses – diagnosis can be difficult, costly, and (when using sedatives) sometimes itself dangerous.

Thankfully, science and modern technology have improved in the areas of field diagnosis thanks to an amazing concept: Infrared thermography (IRt). We’re all familiar with infra-red from innumerable TV shows and action movies, but this technology can be used for the more down-to-earth practice of identifying potential injuries in animals. The technology works by measuring the heat from animals – as determined by blood flow – which can be used to identify these possible injuries.

Here at Johnson Reed we have an ideal that we live by: Common Sense Underwriting.

What does that mean? It means that we deal with all of our requests for finance with a common-sense approach when it comes to whether or not we provide finance to a would-be customer.

As part of this approach, we appreciate that often we get requests for finance for equipment and assets which are beyond the traditional scope of lending. Sure, we get a lot of gym equipment, catering equipment, kitchen refurbishments, that kind of thing, but we also get a lot of unusual things.

GGI Office Furniture are one of the most respected and well-known brands of office furniture in the UK. There’s a chance you’re sitting on one of their chairs right now!

Ever keen to continue providing the best service to their customers, GGI contacted Johnson Reed about helping to secure the finance for a new software accounting package and new IT hardware (including brand new desktops and servers). We were able to secure £60,000 worth of equipment finance for GGI to overhaul their ageing IT systems, based on a fixed repayment deal.

We were able to finance the total solution for our client, which was agreed within 38 hours of receiving the company information. We utilised our Tier 1 funder to secure marketing-leading range of IT hardware and software, an option which will benefit GGI greatly as it means that the finance will be tax-deductible and at a fixed rate throughout the term.

Just a quick update about a job we did a little while back.

We were approached by a Borough Council who asked for £30,000 of leasing finance to get an entire refurbishment for a gym, full of brand new equipment.

That was 8 months ago, and we’ve just been asked by the same council to help get even more finance for continued expansion.
