Metro Bank, the revolution in British banking, has today announced that it has provided waste management specialists, Slicker Recycling, with a £3.5 million invoice finance facility and £1 million asset finance line, to further expand its business.

Mark Stokes, Managing Director Commercial Banking at Metro Bank said: “This is a prime example of how at Metro Bank, we work as one team to meet the needs of our customers, with our Large Commercial team working hand-in-hand with our Invoice and Asset Finance teams to provide Slicker Recycling with a package tailored to their needs. Slicker Recycling has some really exciting plans in the pipeline and we look forward to helping them realise them over the years to come.”
