“Over the next three years, the finance will help us expand our team by hiring 15 new employees to support the development and achieve our growth plans.”

Paul Shadbolt, investment manager for The FSE Group, which manages the £55m GLIF debt fund on behalf of Funding London, commented: “Seth is a successful entrepreneur with previous experience of scaling up SMEs.
