Summary
JJC Hires, the largest skip-for-hire and waste management solutions firm in Cumbria, has secured a near \xa3800k funding deal from Lombard Asset Finance to purchase a cutting-edge 723 kw Solar Panels system.The companys main banking is with RBS, and RBSs bank manager collaborated with Lombard to approve the credit loan, and ultimately secured the significant funding deal. Founded in 2010 by David Armer, who remains at the helm today, JJC Hires has evolved from its modest beginnings into Cumbrias premier commercial waste operator.From a team of five employees and two wagons, the company has expanded tenfold over the past decade, now boasting 65 dedicated employees and a fleet of 50 specialist vehicles.

The companys vision aligns with RBSs purpose-led approach to banking with visions of tackling climate change and helping businesses with the transition to a low-carbon economy.David Armer, Owner of JJC Hires, added: We are so pleased to be able to say that we are taking the next steps towards carbon neutrality. To aid our sustainability mission, we recently installed low-carbon-producing, biomass boilers at our head office in Barrow-in-Furness to reduce our use of fossil fuels.Now, with these solar panels we can truly see ourselves as industry leaders, not only in waste management but in environmental awareness and this is in huge part thanks to the funding of Lombard.Looking to promote your product/service to SME businesses in your region?
