Ross McEwan meets SMEs at The Trampery

The Trampery provides specially designed desk, office and studio space for creative industries, and each of its three sites houses entrepreneurs and start-ups with a particular focus on new media and technology businesses.

A new, fourth Trampery project is under way at Old Street which is being supported with £250k of funding from NatWest, and is the first to be set-up with traditional banking support.

Fostering a new generation of ventures

Ross was joined by representatives from a number of the bank’s customers and partners at The Trampery’s Clerkenwell Street site. Those attending included established technology businesses, start-ups, financial advice agencies, accountants and law firms.

Charles Armstrong, The Trampery's founder, said "It was an honour to host Ross and hear from such a wide variety of successful businesses. The support we're receiving for The Trampery's latest building is a great example of the role banks can play in fostering a new generation of UK ventures."

Ross McEwan said: "It was great to meet such innovative, and creative SMEs today at the Trampery. Their success will drive growth and jobs in the country, that is why we are committed to doing all we can to back them."
