Explained Dawsongroup Finance commercial director Kevin Wills (pictured): “After a turbulent year, this Christmas trading period is more important than ever for businesses. We want people to get in touch with us now to discuss the options we have available to help them be prepared, whether that is just with a temporary uplift in their delivery capacity or longer-term improvements to their logistics chain.

The firm has also engaged in a major recruitment drive, doubling its headcount, and the launch of a new website.

“The work we’ve done this year, and the support we’ve been able to offer businesses big and small, is testament to the quality of what we do," Wills added. "We are proud to come through for businesses in the UK and give them the finance options they need to weather tough times and ensure their businesses are ready to embrace the opportunities they need to thrive.”
