Simply provides fast finance to fuel urgent festival job

When festival season is in full swing, tight turnarounds and last-minute jobs become the new normal. The nature of the industry means businesses often require quick and tailored finance to fund equipment and vehicles. Our customer, a well-established sound and lighting equipment business, supplying and servicing live events, knows this all too well and reached out to Simply when in need.

They got in touch with Fergus Wilson, Area Sales Manager, with an urgent request. They needed to increase their equipment transport capacity in order to service a large contract festival job. The challenge? The festival was the very next day. Having worked with Fergus previously and established a great relationship, they trusted Simply to provide a speedy turnaround and get them on the road.

In less than 24 hours, Simply funded £22,821 under Hire Purchase, from prop to payout, for a brand-new van.

This was a whole team effort, from our expert underwriters understanding our relationship with the customer and their story, their experience and goals to our payouts team ensuring prompt payment to the dealership. Hire Purchase ensured the business could meet demand now and pay for their new van in instalments that suit the fluctuations of seasonal work.

“I’m really happy we could offer this customer a first-class experience financing their van. They are friendly, knowledgeable and their great experience of the events industry is clear when speaking to them. I would happily recommend their business and would love to work with them again in future.” – Fergus Wilson, Area Sales Manager
