Turtle Doves, a British design and manufacturing company specialising in using post-consumer textile waste to create new cashmere garments and accessories, employs around 50 people. Alongside its store Shrewsbury, the business trades successfully online and is now poised for growth. It has secured working capital finance and plans to develop additional manufacturing capacity which will create up to 70 new jobs through outsourced opportunities in Wolverhampton and Leicester.
Graham Holbrook, CEO with Turtle Doves, said: “We’re delighted to have secured this finance, which enables us to capitalise on our recent success and accelerate further expansion. Azets has been invaluable in helping us to achieve this. The team has made us feel valued, whilst offering clear, pragmatic and commercially focused advice. It’s an exciting time for Turtle Doves and we look forward to working with Azets as we continue on our growth journey.”
Huddlestone said: “This strategic funding will help Turtle Doves achieve its growth ambition at a crucial time for retailers, some of which have benefitted from increased orders with people working and shopping from home during the pandemic. Having worked closely with Graham over a number of years, it’s been a pleasure to support Turtle Doves and we’re pleased to get this finance deal over the line. It’s particularly pleasing to support a British business with strong values around sustainability.”
