Enterprise Finance Guarantee
Based in Torrington, North Devon, Dartington Crystal was founded in 1967 and is a leading UK crystal and glassware brand.
In addition to their mouth-blown factory products they design, source and market quality crystal and glass from selected European suppliers.
Dartington Crystal services the retail gift and tabletop sector as well as many specialist B2B and promotional markets. In 2018, Dartington needed an Enterprise Finance Guarantee (EFG) to finance a management buyout and approached Barclays, an accredited lender under the British Business Bank’s EFG scheme. Dartington received the guarantee in November 2018 and since then have been focusing on their growth.
