Aldermore has agreed a new finance facility with Architectural Profiles Limited (APL), a designer and manufacturer of cladding and roofing products and systems.

APL, which has offices in Reading and a manufacturing plant in Chester, was established in 1982. Since then, it has delivered projects across a range of sectors, including automotive dealerships, commercial, residential and industrial properties, and public-sector buildings.

The new funding facility from Aldermore is enabling the business to maximise its new manufacturing plant and boost sales, whilst freeing up capital to support new projects and strengthening the firm’s business pipeline. The facility will also allow APL to further develop its product range, expand into new markets and support its customers.

David Dunne, financial director of Architectural Profiles Limited, said: “We have been extremely impressed with Aldermore. One of our main reasons for choosing the bank was the effort taken to get to know us, our business and our requirements. The team worked closely with us to create a ‘bespoke facility’ which successfully delivered everything we wanted and we are now reaping the rewards.”

Graeme Elliot, business development manager at Aldermore, added: “We take pride in getting to know our clients and making sure the services we offer work for both them and us. Architectural Profiles Limited is a fantastic company that manufacture and deliver high-quality products and systems and we are proud that we can assist it to keep delivering that excellence both here and for exporting abroad.”
