Bristol-based data and artificial intelligence consultancy DATA3 has secured a £200,000 loan from the British Business Bank’s South West Investment Fund, which is earmarked to accelerate the company’s growth ambitions and expand its workforce.
The investment, facilitated by fund manager FW Capital, will enable DATA3 to further its expansion both locally and internationally.
Established in 2017 by Helen Tanner, DATA3 has become a prominent data and AI consultancy, serving clients and employing staff globally. The company assists small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in leveraging data and AI securely and scalably to drive growth.
Helen commented: “DATA3 began as a one-woman start-up and today is an established global award-winning data and AI business with a multi-million pound turnover. This is an exciting phase of our journey and we’re using this finance to scale up the business and create new jobs for local people passionate about data-driven and AI-powered products. Growing a business and being competitive is extremely difficult without the right support. It’s important to work with a finance partner who understands your vision and we’ve found just that with Jordan at FW Capital. He has helped us to access the South West Investment Fund which is supporting our plans to accelerate and strengthen our team.”
