The Client:
When the owner of Koolbox, a specialist outdoor clothing supplier, wanted a new finance facility to help with the smooth running of his business, he once again sought support from Goodman Corporate Finance.
As a long-standing client, Bob McConnell already had trust in Goodman’s ability to seek out and secure the right deal, so when he was approached by other companies also offering their services, he told them “I’m happy where I am.”
The Deal:
- A trusting relationship based on years of working together
- Hands on, jargon-free support
- Drawing on expertise from across the team
- A new invoice finance facility for the business
- A great deal for managing cash flow and promoting business growth
Quotes:
Bob said: “When I needed a new invoice factoring facility, I already had a relationship with Goodman Corporate Finance and was happy with both their service and their fees, so I saw no need to make a change despite approaches from others.
In the past Paul Goodman had taken the lead but this time Group Sales Director Stefan Radymski took up the reins. Paul was always very ‘hands on’ so I was expecting the same from Stefan, and that’s exactly what I got.
“He was always there when needed, even out of office hours, and nothing was too much trouble for him. He didn’t use jargon and explained everything very simply so I always knew exactly where we were in the negotiations and what to expect.
“The new facility is now in place and is a great help for us in managing our cash flow and growing the business. We run on a seasonal cycle and this year’s spring pre-orders are already up on last year and we’ll be starting with autumn/winter pre-orders soon. With ongoing support from Goodman, our future is looking bright.
