Video: Did you help a 40 year old yarn business expand and modernise?

Updated: 12 August 2020

Texere Yarns is based in Bradford and supplies knitting wool and yarns in a range of fibres, textures and colours for textile crafts. The business began about 40 years ago, and ‘texere’ means ‘to weave’ in latin.

In January, they took out a business loan through Funding Circle which was funded by 624 people and organisations across the UK, including the University of Huddersfield, where all of the interest earned goes towards a student scholarship programme. The loan will help Texere Yarns expand and modernise their operations.

In this video you’ll meet Managing Director, Guy Richardson, and hear first-hand about how the business has grown over four decades and why they chose Funding Circle.
