The HSBC UK team has brought more than capital to the table; they\u2019ve challenged our thinking, helped us plan for opportunities and risks, and moved quickly. That level of support gives us real confidence as we continue to scale the group, and we look forward to building on the partnership as we enter our next phase of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rakesh Patel, relationship director at HSBC UK said: \u201cOver the past three years, Rothley Group has built real momentum, underpinned by a clear strategy, strong leadership and a proven track record of growth. This next phase will see it expand its services and strengthen its position in a competitive market. We\u2019re delighted to be supporting the business as it enters this new chapter and look forward to seeing what it achieves next.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Package
