The South West Investment Group-commonly known as SWIG-plays a unique and distinctive role in the provision of investment finance for businesses throughout the South West.
If you need additional funding to help a project start, SWIG may be able to lend a helping hand.
SWIG is a public/private sector partnership established in 1989 as a company limited by guarantee. Board members include representatives from Cornwall County Council, Devon County Council, South West of England Regional Development Agency, Lloyds TSB, Barclays Bank, Business Link & The Private Sector.
We dont exist to compete with the banks rather, our emphasis is on your potential rather than your collateral, which means that we can often support ventures that fall outside the lending criteria of conventional institutions.
Between them, the SWIG team possesses an in-depth range of skills and
experience in business finance, administration and project management.
The team is made up as follows:
PETER CASEY Managing Director
NICKY POOLEY Finance Director
JOHN PETERS Fund Manager
