LOCKDOWN has not prevented one company from driving ahead with its plans to expand. DA Techs, which offers diamond cut and painted alloy wheel refurbishment for both trade and private customers, has secured investment through a business support group to fund a move to larger premises, buy a new powder coating machine to speed up the repair process as well as supporting the development of specialist equipment. The Adlington-based firm has continued to invest in the business thanks to support from Access to Finance Lancashire (A2F Lancashire), funded by Lancashire County Council and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

A LANCASHIRE-based health liquid company is aiming to expand into America after tripling revenues over the last year. YourZooki, headquartered in Preston and founded by Marcus Mollinga and Jack Morrison, specialises in vitamins, oils and capsules, which are stocked in national retailers including Holland and Barrett, Boots, Planet Organic, Wholefoods, Selfridges and Harrods and are already sold in 26 countries worldwide. Now the company has also secured a £1.25 million funding package from the Rosebud Fund, managed by GC Business Finance on behalf of Lancashire County Council, and hopes that this marks the next stage in its ambitious development plans. YourZooki co-founder Marcus Mollinga said: “People are becoming more educated and are looking for more innovative and effective ways of taking supplements that do more than commodity style pills, capsules and powder, a gap that YourZooki fits perfectly.
