Growth doesn't always come with wheels on it.

We've been working with Natalie Yates and the team at Central Power Services Ltd, a specialist power business that's been operating for four decades and continues to invest in what comes next.

Recently, we've helped fund two very different parts of that growth. A trailer. Easy to see. Easy to understand. An asset that helps the business physically do more.

And software. No wheels. Nothing arriving on the back of a transporter. Probably not getting its own handover photo on LinkedIn.

But every bit as important to where the business is going. Because growth isn't just about adding more equipment. It's about making sure the systems, infrastructure and technology behind a business can keep up with it.

Our relationship with Central Power Services has been built around understanding that bigger picture. We've maintained an open and transparent dialogue with Natalie about where the business is going, what they're investing in and where funding can genuinely help.

Sometimes that means we have an immediate answer. Sometimes it means challenging the requirement, looking at it differently or being clear about what we can and can't do.
That's what being a growth partner means to us. Not trying to fund everything. Understanding the plan and helping where we can add value.

Natalie Yates, Finance Director at Central Power Services, puts it well:
“What I've valued about working with One.funding is the open and consultative approach. We've been able to have transparent conversations about the business, where we're investing and what we're trying to achieve, rather than simply looking at individual funding requests.

The trailer and the software are very different investments, but both support where we're taking the business. One.funding understood that wider picture and have worked with us as a partner in our growth, rather than simply as a finance provider.”

That's exactly the type of relationship we want to build. Central Power Services knows its industry. Natalie knows where the business is heading.

Our job is to understand the journey well enough to know where funding can help. Sometimes that's a trailer. Sometimes it's software.

The important bit is knowing why the business needs either of them. Thanks to Natalie and the team for continuing to put their trust in One.funding.

We're looking forward to supporting what comes next.

What do all events have in common?

No two events are ever the same.

From haulage and automotive to franchises and machinery, every industry has its own challenges, customers and ways of working.

With Q4 just around the corner, it’s been a busy year of events, and getting out to meet suppliers and customers across different industries has been one of the highlights for us.

They’re a great opportunity to understand how our suppliers and customers work, hear what they need and look at how we can support their business.

With plenty more events still to come, what event are you heading to next?

Matt’s genuinely proud to have played a small part in this project and help a major hospitality group move forward with its plans.

Sometimes funding is only part of the story. The best part is seeing ambitious businesses continue to invest, grow and back themselves.

What’s been one of your career highlights?

Franchising isn’t just about replicating a business. It’s about replicating trust, speed and consistency, across every franchisee.

That’s the challenge Jamie and the team at DA Techs brought to us. Not "can you fund a van," but "can you fund our growth, every time we add a new franchisee."

If you're scaling a franchise, what's the bit that’s slowing you down? Getting the right partners on board, or funding them fast enough to keep momentum?

Twenty years of graft building a business deserves a good reward.

This customer's spent two decades building a business from the ground up and earlier this year we funded his previous Defender. Now, he was ready to upgrade again.

The existing agreement needed sorting first so we worked with United Trust Bank to agree flexible settlement terms. He could now move straight into a new Land Rover Defender OCTA 4.4 P635 110.

That's the whole idea behind https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0xxQ3j0. Get the finance agreed, then choose the vehicle from any source you like. Then when things change, we're already in your corner to find the next practical step.

Every deal starts with the same question: what's this customer trying to achieve? The finance gets built around the answer, not the other way round.

Fancy a chat about your next upgrade?

What does a 55-year-old family business do next?

Invest £500,000 in the future.

Fix Auto, Oswestry has completed a major transformation of its Oswestry site - adding 3,000 sq ft of workshop space, taking the operation beyond 10,000 sq ft and creating capacity to repair more than 120 vehicles a month.

Productivity is expected to increase by around 25%.

We’re proud to have helped fund it.
And there’s a nice story behind how we became involved.
Managing Director Lee Hitch had known our CEO, Lee Schofield, for a number of years. Separately, one of the suppliers involved in the project also put One.funding forward as a potential funding partner.

But Lee didn't simply go with the familiar name. He spoke to a number of finance companies before deciding to work with One.funding.

Lee Hitch said:
“I’d known Lee Schofield for a number of years and One.funding had also been recommended by one of the suppliers involved in the project. But with an investment of this size, I wanted to look at the options available to us.

What stood out was that they understood the project as a whole. This wasn't simply about financing one piece of equipment - there were different suppliers, costs and timings to bring together. One.funding understood that and found a way to structure the funding around what we were trying to achieve. That gave us the confidence to go with them.”

That understanding matters.

We’ve funded enough refurbishment, equipment and expansion projects to know they rarely arrive as one asset, one supplier and one convenient invoice.

There are builders, equipment, fit-out costs, deposits and different payment dates. Understanding how those pieces fit together is often just as important as providing the funding itself.
The project shouldn't have to fit the finance. The finance should fit the project.

Congratulations to Lee and everyone at Fix Auto Oswestry. It’s great to see a family business with more than half a century behind it investing so confidently in what comes next.

55 years in. And still building.

September's plate change is a reminder for businesses to take a step back and review whether their vehicles are still supporting the way they work.

Your vehicles are some of your most valuable business assets. They keep your team moving, help you serve customers and play a key role in your day-to-day operations. But as they get older, increasing repair costs, reduced fuel efficiency and unexpected downtime can all have an impact on your business.

How often do you update your fleet?

This is what joining the DA Techs franchise network actually looks like.

Jamie, Co-Founder of DA Techs, takes you round the van, kitted out from top to bottom and ready to earn from day one. That's the standard across the whole network.

It's a big reason the network's growing so fast. DA Techs aren't just after people with capital, they're after people with the drive and ambition to run with it, and they've built a business that backs those people.

The funding doesn't have to be the sticking point. That's exactly what we help with.

What a weekend at Convoy in the Park! 🚛🏁

Hannah and Emma headed to Donington over the weekend, and it’s safe to say they loved it!

From seeing some seriously impressive trucks and truck racing to meeting customers, suppliers, and new and familiar faces, it was a brilliant opportunity to experience the world our customers work in every day.

A huge thank you to Scott Bishop at MVCommercial for inviting the team along. It was great to catch up, put some faces to names and enjoy a brilliant day with the transport community.

We’re already looking forward to the next one! 🙌🚛
