Good luck to our lead investor Dr. Jill Jones at the UK Business Angels Association Investment Awards 2024 this Wednesday. 

She has been selected as a finalist of the Investment in Diversity Champion. The Award recognises a key individual in the UK early-stage investment ecosystem that is taking a leadership role in breaking down barriers for access to equity investment for founders from diverse backgrounds.

It’s fantastic that Jill has been selected and we are all very proud of her!

Great news! We’ve completed our second investment 🙌🏻

15 of our investors are helping to improve recycling rates of single-use plastic with an £100,000 equity investment in Deeside-based Polytag Limited. Development Bank of Wales has match-funded with a further £100,000 from the Wales Angel Co-investment Fund.
 
With the backing of Collateral Good and Knop Ventures, Polytag Limited has now raised £2.85 million to help fund the growth of its unique, tag and trace barcode technology. The GS1 Digital Link QR Codes allow brand owners and retailers in the food and beverage sectors to track packaging from the time it’s labelled to the moment it’s scanned at recycling centres. Trials are already underway with Ocado, Co-op, Arla, Aldi and Biffa.
 
It’s another great example of the difference we can make thanks to the support that we have from Development Bank of Wales and British Business Bank Wales
