Finance for Enterprise Sponsor ‘Your City, Your Say’ Marking 40 Years

Finance For Enterprise, one of the most respected alternative lenders in the North of England, is proud to sponsor Doncaster Chamber’s upcoming Your City, Your Say event on 3 October.

A platform for constructive dialogue with civic and business leaders, Your City, Your Say  gives the business community a chance to speak up on the issues that matter; shaping the future of Doncaster and the wider region.

This year’s sponsorship marks a special milestone for Finance For Enterprise, which is celebrating 40 years of supporting small and medium-sized enterprises across South Yorkshire, the North Midlands, Lincolnshire and Humberside. The sponsorship reflects the organisation’s deep-rooted mission to promote sustainable growth, job creation and financial resilience; particularly in underserved communities.

Jade Dyer, Chief Operating Officer of Doncaster Chamber said:

“Finance For Enterprise’s impact goes far beyond business loans. They back ethical, inclusive lending practices that turn a ‘no’ into a ‘yes’ for many entrepreneurs facing barriers. Their work provides a crucial lifeline for SMEs who are often overlooked, and that makes them one of the most trusted lenders in the UK.”

Finance For Enterprise’s belief in community-led decision-making and responsible business is demonstrated through its support of Your City, Your Say , helping ensure local voices are heard and businesses are empowered to influence change.

Among the many Doncaster-based businesses Finance For Enterprise has supported is Rhodes of Thorne, a 60-year-old family-run bakery with two popular retail outlets. The business secured a £250,000 Enterprise Loan to support its next stage of growth, just one example of Finance For Enterprise’s commitment to investing in local heritage and future

Andrew Austwick, Managing Director of Finance For Enterprise, said:

“This sponsorship is part of our 40th year celebrations, but more than that, it’s an investment in Doncaster’s future. We believe in a city that supports collaboration, ambition and enterprise and we’re proud to play our part in that. As we look ahead, we want to keep backing the businesses and networks that create jobs, boost resilience, and make a real difference to our economy.”

Finance For Enterprise’s sponsorship of Your City, Your Say  reflects its belief in long-term, sustainable community engagement.
