Dowlis Inspired Branding unlocks US potential
Dowlis Inspired Branding
Founded in 1974, Dowlis Inspired Branding has evolved into a pioneering force within the branded merchandise industry. Their passion is to deliver market-defining products to clients across the globe and become leaders in an ever-changing market.
Dowlis are well established with locations in the UK, USA and the Netherlands. But they struggled to find a banking provider to support them internationally. They felt undervalued and that their ability to grow was being stunted.
That’s where we could help. They were impressed with our ability to get our global teams in one place to listen to what they needed. Our teams created a personalised solution to help with the challenges that come with trading in global markets.
We wanted the facilities and headroom across the group, not just the UK. But how on earth could we possibly unlock the opportunities in the US?
Santander have tailored their solution through their relationship team to enable us to use Santander globally. They have listened to us from the start and acknowledged that what we want today isn’t necessarily what we want tomorrow.
Director, Dowlis Inspired Branding
It was clear to Dowlis that we had the appetite and knowledge to see their global growth ambitions realised.
Our tailored approach has unlocked headroom in their US assets meaning growth is on the horizon for Dowlis. They have the right tools to tackle global growth in the future with strong acquisition opportunities in the pipeline. Plus, confidence in us and our shared values.
The funding package we provided to Dowlis abroad, whilst unlocking capital here in the UK, will also support their continued international growth. Our ability to work with our colleagues in the USA to provide truly bespoke cross-border capabilities shows our true international presence.
