10/05/2013
An Irish sheepskin processor, whose clients include footwear brand UGG, is preparing to increase its business in Italy, China and Turkey after receiving £500,000 from a loan fund.

Domestic Sheepskins already conducts about £2 million of business per year in China, according to local reports. The investment will help the family-run firm hire extra staff and expand further.

The loan has been provided by Invest NI and Northern Ireland Local Government Officers' Superannuation Committee, and is delivered by WhiteRock Capital Partners.
