Funding lights a fire under Worgas Burners Ltd

July 14, 2011 - PRLog -- North Derbyshire-based, Worgas Burners Ltd, has secured a  £1 million funding facility through independent Invoice and Asset Based lender, Venture Finance.

The funding, incorporating an export and domestic Invoice Discounting facility will enable the South Normanton company to expand internationally.

Worgas Burners Ltd produces gas combustion components for domestic appliances such as boilers. The company, which currently derives 12 percent of its revenues from exports, intends to expand into Europe, North America, Canada and China, as well as in the UK through new offerings.

James Maxfield, Managing Director at Worgas Burners Ltd, comments: “The company has gone from strength to strength and has already grown by 22 percent in the last year. The additional finance will help fund our plan to grow both our UK and export business.

“As we’re planning for the long-term, it’s important that we can access funds as and when we need them. Venture understood this and provided a user-friendly service which will enable us to invest at home as well as expand into new regions.”

Worgas, a subsidiary of Italian company Worgas Bruciatori SRL, currently has an annual turnover of £6.7 million and employs 46 people in the UK.
