The Development Bank of Wales’ Green Business Loan is now being extended to \u00a320 million with funding available until 2028. To date, over 30 Welsh businesses have benefitted from tailored support through the scheme, delivering forecasted carbon savings of more than 28,000 tonnes over the lifetime of their projects.<\/p>\n

This includes a loan of \u00a33.2 million for Mold-based Thorncliffe Building Supplies to invest in a new wash plant and water treatment system that will reduce the company\u2019s use of landfill. Their Managing Director Tim Harper is pictured here with his dog Bear and Senior Investment Executive Scott Hughes.<\/p>\n

Bethan Cousins, Development Bank of Wales’ New Business Director, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe success of the Green Business Loan Scheme is a testament to the ambition and innovation of Welsh businesses in tackling climate change.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/div>\n\n

Thorncliffe is a great example of how the scheme is helping businesses across Wales to \u2018invest to save\u2019 by providing loans with discounted interest rates to make energy efficiency improvements and implement decarbonisation initiatives<\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n<\/div>\n\n
