Jewellery business Lister Horsfall has expanded its showroom and premises in Halifax following a £2.4 million funding deal with NatWest and the bank’s asset finance partner Lombard.
The family-run business used the NatWest funding to purchase two units adjacent to its premises in the Corn Market and expand operations. The units were redeveloped to meet EPC standards and new solar panelling has been installed as part of the redevelopment.
The expansion of the town centre site includes a new workshop and service centre, and a dedicated showroom for Rolex watches. Six new jobs have also been created to support their growth ambitions.
In addition to the retail site in Halifax, the business also has a showroom in Ilkley. The two projects support Lister Horsfall’s long-term growth plans supported by NatWest, having been a customer of the bank since 2018.
Nick Horsfall, Director of Lister Horsfall, said: “The expansion of our Halifax showroom cements our continued commitment to the community which we have been a part of for over a century. Our relationship manager Mark Forsyth and his team gave us the confidence that the bank backs our growth ambitions, and in particular, this project.”
Mark Forsyth, Senior Relationship Manager at NatWest, said: “It’s an exciting time for Nick and Lister Horsfall as a new showroom opens in Halifax. As the UK’s biggest bank for business, we work collaboratively with customers to support their growth goals and business plans. Lister Horsfall is committed to the local community and this latest investment demonstrates our shared ambition in supporting business growth and investment across our communities.”
