As a business, we are always looking to increase the range of business services that we can offer our clients, and in saying this, we are happy to introduce On-Site Finance. 

Having worked closely with them for a number of years, we are excited to have purchased leading Portsmouth financial services company Crest Finance, to form On-Site Finance. Crest Finance was established in 2012 by Onsite-Group Chairman and CFO, Trevor Deacon, with his son Ryan joining the company a year and a half later. At the time of our acquisition of Crest, they are a team of twelve strong, that have grown to be the largest lender on the South Coast for business funding. 

Most recently, at a time when many businesses have been hit hard by Coronavirus, Crest Finance have provided important services in helping SMEs to seek financial support through CBILS (Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme). 

Under the On-Site Finance banner, in addition to supplying white and blue collar labour to Construction, Mechanical, Electrical and Data Communications sector clients throughout the UK and across Europe, we will also be able to offer an extensive range of business finance and funding services, including asset finance, invoice finance and property finance.

As well as their financial services expertise, in the purchasing of Crest, we are also glad to gain their experienced telemarketing team. With the capacity to speak with upwards of 25,000 businesses each month, we are confident that we will be able to generate high levels of leads in the future. 

Asked about the opportunity of merging Crest Finance under the On-Site Group banner, Trevor Deacon said:

“Whilst it’s an emotional moment losing the name of Crest Finance, this is an exciting opportunity for all of the Crest Team to join On-Site Group in this challenging time.

“Having raised over £100m of funding for businesses over the past eight years, alongside the provision of specialist B2B telemarketing campaigns, the business is a perfect fit for the Group for the provision of in house services and raising finance for clients of On-Site.”

On-Site Group Managing Director Richard Whale said:

“This is another exciting acquisition for On-Site Group. Crest Finance is a business that we have worked closely with for many years. Their culture and ambition has always impressed us and we are very excited that this opportunity has arisen.

“We are confident that this will offer opportunities that not many of our competitors can, and that our suite of services continues to expand.”
