Sunny Side Up at 1 Stop Spas

Join us for a morning of insightful networking and expert advice as we welcome Lewis Stringer from the British Business Bank to deliver an engaging talk on:

“Funding for Growth: How Smaller Businesses in Lincolnshire Can Access Finance”

During this session, Lewis will explore how small businesses can tap into financial resources to fuel growth and innovation. He will discuss the newly launched £400m Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF) II, as well as other British Business Bank initiatives, including Start Up Loans.

The British Business Bank is the UK’s economic development bank, dedicated to driving sustainable growth, enhancing access to finance, and supporting the transition to a net zero economy.

About the Speaker:

Our guest speaker will be Lewis Stringer  who joined the British Business Bank in October 2016 as the MEIF Senior Relationship Manager, covering the East and South-East Midlands and worked on the Bank’s high-profile Covid-19 response initiatives. He currently works in the UK Network Team for the Bank as a Senior Manager, covering the East & South-East Midlands and supporting demand-side initiatives, as well as the recently launched £400m Midlands Engine Investment Fund (MEIF) II.

The British Business Bank is the UK’s economic development bank. Their mission is to drive sustainable growth and prosperity across the UK, and to enable the transition to a net zero economy, by improving access to finance for smaller businesses. The Bank delivers a series of debt and equity programmes across the UK supported by over 200 Delivery Partners.

Lewis has over 25 years’ experience in economic development including two years at Capital for Enterprise Limited (the Bank’s predecessor), where he worked in the Debt Team on the Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG) scheme and former RDA legacy funds, ten years at East Midlands Development Agency (emda) in the Business Investment Team, where he managed a team and a series of grant, loan and equity funds, and investment readiness programmes, and five years at Nottingham City Council. Lewis also has over five years commercial and personal banking experience with Lloyds Banking Group.

During this event Lewis will be addressing how smaller businesses in Lincolnshire can access the finance they need to grow from the Bank’s initiatives such as Start Up Loans and the Midlands Engine Investment Fund II.
