Funding Ambition

The team at Charles & Dean have excelled throughout this process - from the first phone call they have been diligent, proactive and motivated to support Ocado Retail.

They listened to our requirements and built a product with a funder tailored to our specific needs. The support through the process and quality of communication and persistence to the end has been brilliant.

It's been refreshing to work with a business who have the same growth mindset and delivery focus as we have.

I’m into my fifth year now with Charles & Dean funding my ever developing car collection, with the latest addition being my Ferrari 250 GT.

The whole process was dealt with efficiently and with surprisingly palatable numbers. I am not the easiest person to find funding for but C&D work with a number of lenders and offer incredible personal service you won't find anywhere else. Looking forward to many more deals to come.

Charles & Dean played an instrumental role in helping us to bring the world-renowned Gilgamesh to Covent Garden. High street banks simply couldn’t provide us with the same level of support as Charles & Dean.

They took the time to really understand our needs, our industry experience and goals for Gilgamesh, securing the necessary funds to open in time for Christmas.

We would gladly recommend Charles & Dean to anyone in the F&B industry requiring financial support.

I have frequent and direct contact with the C&D team. They specialise in vehicle funding, so I trust them completely when I ask for bespoke guidance regarding my future plans.

That customer relationship is something I highly value and have never experienced anywhere else.

As a family-owned business with nearly a century of experience, we value strong partnerships - and Charles & Dean has been exactly that.

Their expertise in commercial finance has been instrumental in helping us refinance our unencumbered assets, giving us the flexibility to navigate seasonal changes and invest in growth.

They truly understand the challenges of our industry, from longer winters to evolving market demands, and have taken the time to build a deep understanding of our business. A trusted and reliable partner.
