In its continual drive to provide the very best levels of support for its members, Made in the Midlands has further expanded its list of Patrons.
The latest to join is Capex Finance, one of the largest commercial finance brokerages in the Midlands.
Its decision brings the list of Patrons to 14, who together offer services ranging from taxation, insurance, legal services, financial management, foreign exchange, recruitment, energy provision, security and workwear.
Capex Finance is one of the largest commercial finance brokerages in the Midlands. Originally set up 1999, the firm was acquired in January 2017 by Maxxia Group – the UK arm of the McMillan Shakespeare business based in Australia and listed on the ASX stock exchange in Australia.
