IT firm blooming after £125K Rosebud loan
A Burnley-based IT business has secured a £125,000 loan from Lancashire Rosebud Finance to support its further growth.
Holker IT, which currently employs 16 people, is planning to create another 10 jobs in the next two to three years.
The company provides IT support services, telecoms systems and printers to clients throughout the North West.
Established eight years ago in Colne, the business has been expanding steadily and recently moved into larger premises in Burnley.
The company, which also has a satellite office in Preston, is led by directors Matthew Metcalfe and James Dewhurst.
Lancashire Rosebud Finance – which provides growth funding for businesses in the county – is managed by Mercia Fund Managers on behalf of Lancashire County Developments Limited (LCDL), Lancashire County Council’s economic development company.
Peter Rooney, investment manager at Mercia Fund Managers, said: “Holker IT is seeing a growing demand for IT support from small firms in the region. The company has a reputation for its fast and responsive service and is continually investing in staff and skills.”
