The Lancashire-based printer refurbishment specialist has received a loan of £50,000 from Rosebud Business Finance.
The Green Printer Company’s Colin Relfe has spoken with 
The Recycler on the company’s successful application and award of the Lancashire County Council’s Rosebud expansion and investment loan, which will be spent on expanding the company’s MPS offering.
The process of obtaining the loan is said to have gone smoothly, with Relfe remarking that it was “not bad, went very well. Someone came down, looked at the business and talked about expansion.”
The Green Printer company was granted a £50,000 ($78,102/€63,477) loan, with the primary focus of the grant being spent on “taking our MPS [offering] to the next level: handling the new website at www.thegreenprintercompany.co.uk, marketing, and delivering out strategy to dealers and users.”
The company specialises in refurbishing printers, a service Relfe is very proud to extol: “No one else does it. We’re a small firm but with ambitions, as are a lot of companies, and this will help us build on what we can do and make sure our customer know too.”
In addition to developing the new website, the £50,000 grant will also allow the Green Printer Company to offer sets of office packages for dealers. According to the Business Desk, the seven-strong company will also be using the grant to create seven new jobs in the next 18 months.
Following the success of the Rosebud grant, Relfe was pleased to announce that “[the increased exposure and work put into it] has clearly been working because we’re getting customers ringing us up now, asking what we can do. We’re getting a good take-up and we’re taking our MPS service to the next level!”
