Simply going for gold with £323,000 funding for mining equipment finance

The assets purchased included an excavator, a loading shovel and a dumper.

Ross Pickburn, regional sales manager at Simply, said: “This was an incredibly interesting deal to work on, not least because it was the first gold mine I’d ever helped fund.

“It’s great working with a company that produces Scottish gold and a team that is creating jobs in the area. Thanks to Kevin at Hodge Plant, we got to know about the needs of the company and were able to structure a deal that worked for all parties.”

Simply was founded in April 2017 by a team of industry specialists, in response to the need for innovation and disruption in the asset finance sector. It now has a team of 85 and works with over 2,500 SMEs across a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, construction, transport and recycling.
