Couture Gardens are a garden design company creating bespoke, beautiful and functional outdoor spaces for their clients. They’re run by Director, Clive Gillmor and supported by Manoj Malde, an award-winning garden designer. As an outdoor-centred business, respect for the environment has always been important, and recently they turned this consideration to their transport.
Like many businesses, they had been exploring electric commercial vehicles, and the time to embrace them finally came when they urgently needed to replace their van. After finding the right fit in Farizon, whose EVs impressed with their range and on-site charging capabilities, Clive needed support with funding this unexpected purchase. With Christmas just days away, time was of the essence.
Simply were on hand to get them back on the road and towards electrification, providing a £27,900 advance Hire Purchase loan to fund the new van, made possible through the Government Guarantee Scheme. Our Area Sales Manager, Jack Padda, wasted no time, meeting with Clive and Manoj and ensuring the deal was paid out as quickly as possible.
A new vehicle was not an expense item that I had budgeted for, particularly at Christmas, but this is where Simply Asset Finance came into their own. They understood our urgency to find a replacement, as well as our wider goal to move our business forward with electric vehicles. They explored the available options and were able to assess us for finance, backed by the Government Guarantee Scheme.
They really took our situation and story into account to make an offer and made the whole process painless. We were back on the road just a few days later. – Clive Gillmor, Director of Couture Gardens.
Business is personal, and we know real conversations, backed by technology and expertise, is the best way to create quick and welcome change for SMEs. This deal is a true testament to that, and shows Simply’s commitment to working closely with businesses, creating solutions that relieve pressure and move them towards their goals.
Clive and Manoj faced an unexpected hurdle at a time of year where cashflow can be tight, but I knew we could ease this burden and help them move forward with their green plans. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with them and support their thriving business, and I’m thankful to our fantastic team and digital tools for giving them the quick turnaround they deserved. – Jack Padda, Area Sales Manager at Simply
