Finance Wales Inquiry

Response from James Brown Industries Ltd in

I feel the need to write this letter in the wake of the bad publicity that I have been reading about Finance Wales.

We started James Brown Industries Ltd in 2004 and Finance Wales played a significant part in the finance required to get the Company off the ground, without their support we would not have started trading.

In addition to our first financial help we have used Finance Wales a further two times.

Both times were for significant projects which if Finance Wales had not helped we would have missed the opportunities to expand the company.

We have grown from a small engineering Company employing three people with three machines to a Company which now employees thirty people and with twenty machines.  We also employ three apprentices.

The last project which Finance Wales were involved with has been extremely successful and we expect further growth over the coming years.

As a Company we have found Finance Wales extremely professional and would strongly recommend any start-up Company or Companies, which require additional funding to develop, to give Finance Wales a chance to help.

Kind Regards

MARTIN BROWN
