Welcome to Fredericks Wiltshire

Fredericks Wiltshire was officially launched in Swindon at the end of April followed by a further event at Hartham Park, Corsham, in June. The launch follows generous offers of funding from GWE Business West www.gwebusinesswest.co.uk who are also providing pro bono office space and services, Wiltshire Council www.wiltshire.gov.uk and Swindon Borough Council www.swindon.gov.uk. Already we have two Client Managers looking after the County who are busy networking and generating interest among potential clients. If you know of anyone, or any small company looking for finance, but unable to access it from a bank, please call 01793 698023.

Equally, if you would like to be involved with us in Wiltshire, do let us know. We have opportunities to serve on our Wiltshire Advisory Board, as a mentor or member of our lending panel, or as an investor. We would be happy to discuss any opportunity with you.

Wiltshire has not had a community loan fund for some years. Fredericks is delighted to provide this service and looks forward to meeting the needs of the small business community with funding the banks are unable or unwilling to provide. Our presence in the County would not have been possible without the active assistance of our Partners listed above.

After being made redundant in 2009, Peter worked on his business plan to set up as a licensed waste carrier for both commercial and domestic waste. He attended the Business Link workshops www.businesslink.gov.uk and worked with the Princes Trust, unfortunately they were unable to provide Peter with the start up capital required and so Peter became Fredericks Wiltshire's first client.
