"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."
