On the 3rd December 2025 the Made in Bury Business Loan Panel approved a 2nd Loan for Wayne Oliver, after he successfully paid back the first loan given back in November 2024.
The loan was granted to help purchase a newer van which would enable Wayne Oliver Plumbing & Heating to cover the whole of the North West, a much bigger area than he can cover currently and therefore increase his profits.
Loan approved by the Made in Bury Loan Panel and given on the 8th October 2025.
To use the R-Jet PRO DTF V4i Printer at full capacity, which was purchased with the help of a loan from Made in Bury, there was a requirement to automate the curing process with an additional finisher unit, extractor and then a larger press to handle the larger prints.
The second loan to Printabulous allows this to happen, and will further increase the consistency of quality of curing meaning a better quality of product and an Increase in production capacity.
The finisher also comes with an extractor unit to enable safe operation at high temperatures.
Made in Bury, provided the original loan to purchase the R-Jet PRO DTF V4i machine which has increased output and capacity greatly. Purchasing the finisher unit, extractor and heat press with the additional loan has helped us ramp up production further whilst improving the quality of the product. All the equipment purchased are fully portable meaning they can easily be transported to a bigger unit if and when necessary.
Upon receipt of the loan, Neil Silverman said “Made in Bury made it possible for Printabulous to invest in a finisher unit and large heat press to speed up production considerably. In one hour we can now print and press the same volume of clothing / workwear that used to take a whole day. This means we have greatly increased our capacity for volume orders while improving quality and consistency of the finished items.”
On the 28th November 2024 the Made in Bury Business Loans Panel met for the 2nd time at Headline Partner Connect Comms Office.
The panel this time was Oscar Majid from Connect Comms, Liam Gately from Platinum Care, Lee Sugden from Horsfield & Smith Chartered Accountants and Luke Millington from Stay N Play Doggy Daycare.
The £2,000 interest-free loan was granted to Wayne Lee Oliver from Wayne Oliver Plumbing & Heating by the panel and has been used to invest in a press fit machine to help with bigger commercial jobs as most don’t allow soldering due to risk of fire and help with cutting the amount of time on residential work as after soldering, under floors regulations state you have to wait 2 hours to make sure there is no chance of fire starting. This new equipment saves Wayne time and means he can book more jobs in a day.
Wayne commented; “Thanks to Made in Bury for the interest free loan they gave me. I used the money to buy new equipment to help grow my business and can now do bigger jobs at half the time. It’s great to know that through Made in Bury new start up businesses can get the help they need. Thanks again to Debi, Phil and the loan panel for all your help.”
Following the launch of the Made in Bury Business Loans initiative in October 2024, we are pleased to announce that the first interest-free loan has been approved and awarded.
