When regional businesses secure the right support, the ripple effects are felt across the entire local economy. A recent milestone from Renovo Tool Group highlights exactly how targeted investment can accelerate growth, boost productivity, and champion sustainability in manufacturing.
Based in Stanley, Renovo Tool Group utilised a comprehensive funding package—including support from the Durham Business Growth programme delivered in partnership with UMi, Business Durham, and RTC North, alongside NEL Fund Managers Limited and Reward Funding—to invest in advanced machinery. This upgrade allows them to meet rising demand for their innovative tool refurbishment service, helping manufacturers cut waste, extend tool life, and reduce operational costs.
Seeing local enterprises scale through strategic collaboration is always inspiring. It proves that when ambition meets the right infrastructure, sustainable success follows.
A Proven Track Record of Impact
This isn't an isolated success story. The team at UMi has a long-standing history of helping ambitious businesses navigate critical growth phases.
Last year, UMi provided vital support to Beamish Park Golf Club, a valued member of the Do Business Network (DBN). With their guidance, the club secured funding that enabled them to successfully restructure financially and invest in high-quality renovations for an Airbnb offering on-site. This diversification opened up new revenue streams and secured their long-term resilience.
