Scale Up Boost for Cutting Blade Specialist

Cornish-based cutting blade specialist, Simply Just One, has had a £37k cash boost from SWIG Finance to help scale up its business to meet increasing demand.  

The company, started in 2020 by Mike Jackson with the help of a Start Up Loan, has become a leading online supplier of diamond-cutting blades and equipment for a range of applications.  

Having had a successful career as a sales rep for diamond cutting blades, Mike is able to share his experience with customers to ensure they have the right blade for the job. 

Mike’s loan application was supported by Gregg Harding at Access to Finance. 

Mike said “Unlike most companies that give a decision in minutes without caring about the individual, SWIG ensures the loan is sustainable and makes you think carefully about how any funding should be used. I would only seek funding from SWIG because of their professionalism and knowledge, which have been instrumental in helping me grow. The SWIG team is fantastic, and I can’t thank them enough”. 

SWIG’s Business Manager, Rachel Thomson, supported Mike’s application. Rachel commented “Mike has worked hard to make his business successful and it was apparent from our discussions that he needed to employ someone to help the business to grow. Our funding is designed for this purpose and I’m pleased that we were able to support him and look forward to watching the business go from strength to strength”.
