“After 100 years of banking with our previous bank, we have no regrets on our move or indeed any desire to return to conventional banking. Moving to Triodos Bank was the best move we ever made.”
Ian McHarg, D McHarg and Son, Stranraer
In an increasingly competitive market, organic producers, processors and retailers need a banking partner who genuinely understands their business operation, objectives and most importantly, financial requirements. Triodos has worked with organic businesses throughout Europe for over twenty years.
Lending to organic businesses now accounts for over 20% of all borrowing from Triodos Bank. The projects we currently support in the UK include everything from a one acre walled garden to a 2000-acre estate, village retailers, box schemes, restaurants and processors. Because of our long-term involvement with the organic sector, as well as our connections with key organic organisations throughout the world, we have an excellent understanding of the production, marketing and patterns of consumption of organic food.
