New lift services firm awarded five-figure investment by River Capital

Taylor Hunt, a newly established specialist in lift finishing services based in Warrington, has secured a five-figure investment from North West fund manager River Capital.

It will support the company’s launch and initial growth phase in the thriving North West construction market and will be used for setting up a workshop, purchasing initial stock, and supporting working capital needs.

Founded by industry veteran James Hunt and experienced entrepreneur Dorothy Taylor, Taylor Hunt will aim to fill a crucial gap in the lift industry, focused on  new builds and modernisation projects.

Initially focusing on the North West region, taking advantage of the Government’s projected £15.5bn spend on major projects in the area over the next decade, it expects to create 13 full time jobs within its first two years of operation.

Managing director, James Hunt, brings 30 years of experience in the lift industry and said: “We’re incredibly grateful of the support from River Capital. This investment enables us to deliver quality lift finishing services to major industry players from day one and will help us to set new standards in the lift industry.”

Sue Chambers, Investment Manager at River Capital, said: “James and Dorothy have a compelling mix of industry expertise and entrepreneurial experience. We believe they are well-positioned to capitalise on the growing demand for specialist lift finishing services in the North West and beyond.”
