CTM expansion gets help from Cattles

DOMESTIC and commercial maintenance specialist CTM has opened its first UK satellite office, in Dronfield, near Sheffield.

The Colchester company, founded in 2002 by Colin Wheatland, has opened the office with backing from business finance provider Cattles Invoice Finance, winning local contracts.

Now it is looking to double its staff and turnover over the next five years. Mr Wheatland says: “It has always been an ambition to run a UK-wide business, although when I started out five years ago, it seemed a long way off. Since then the business has grown dramatically year on year, and our increasingly strong presence and increased new business in the North has contributed to us taking the decision to open in Sheffield. Such is our growth, we are currently reviewing sites in the North East.”

Cattles Invoice Finance runs a credit control facility on behalf of CTM which allows the company to focus on developing its business, without having to waste time chasing payments.
