Announcing our new NACFB lender Patronage
We’re thrilled to be providing wider access to low-carbon and sustainable energy infrastructure finance by joining the esteemed National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (NACFB) as a lender Patron.
The NACFB is the UK’s largest independent trade body for commercial finance brokers, who work closely with their members and lenders alike to service all the needs of business borrowers.
Through this partnership, and by building collaborative and mutually beneficial relationships with NACFB Members, we aim to make specialist low-carbon financing more accessible, supporting growth and necessary investment in the sector by providing our expertise, knowledge, and flexible finance products.
Becoming a Patron of the NACFB is a rigorous process, with the association assessing all new Patrons like us against their Patrons’ Charter, which outlines the professional standards that come with NACFB Patronage. The Charter formally recognises that any Patron collaboration with NACFB Members should maintain and promote business relationships for the mutual benefit of all parties, working to their Code of Practice and putting the client first. We were already working to rigorous and high standards, and this Patronage is a credit to our ongoing work to deliver top-quality finance products and service.
Norman Chambers, Managing Director of the NACFB said:
“Having a lender that focuses on funding to help SMEs invest in equipment to support sustainable energy infrastructure is an important step for the Association and its members. NACFB brokers are increasingly turning to funders which align with their clients' carbon footprint reduction ambitions. Like the SMEs themselves, our brokers understand that achieving these aims represents an opportunity for growth. And where there's a potential for growth, there is, usually, a need for finance, which is why we are delighted to welcome Horizon Energy Ventures as a Patron.”
Our Managing Director, George May, stated what our new patronage means to Horizon Energy Ventures:
“Our partnerships are incredibly important to us, and we are honoured to join the impressive ranks of NACFB Patrons. We look forward to developing relationships and collaborating with NACFB members on sustainable energy infrastructure projects. We know how to make these green technologies work not just to help deliver net zero, but also for commercial benefit.”
We look forward to collaborating with our new NACFB Member broker colleagues and nurturing deals that support businesses to grow and rapidly evolve to deliver the UK’s net zero ambition by 2050.
