Another two sites are expected to open by the end of 2023, growing the group which employs more than 330 people and is expected to surpass £140m turnover this year.

The new package was set up by Barclays business development director Joe Reid.

Tom Wilson, commercial director, RJTK, said: “Through our initial discussions with Joe and his team, it immediately became clear that Barclays would be the perfect partner for the group as they were aligned with and supportive of our future growth strategy.

"The motor industry has experienced rapid change over the last two years and our agile structure has meant we have been able to adapt quickly whilst growing the business with existing and new manufacturer partners. Our new relationship with Barclays will allow us to continue this growth and capitalise on opportunities that fit within our business model.”
