Wick & Tallow

Bringing English eccentricity to luxury fragrance

Since launching in 2011, Wick & Tallow has grown from a Portobello Market stall into a bespoke luxury fragrance brand. Alice Malcolm Green’s vision to bring “English eccentricity” combined with operational agility to a traditional market has led to the brand successfully expanding beyond candles into home fragrance.

Funding Circle has supported the business with three Term Loans since 2021 to fuel its growth mission. These strategic injections of capital allowed the business to scale its production and reach new customer segments in the luxury market.

Since 2024, Alice and her partner James have also been using FlexiPay to spread supplier payments for materials over several months. This multi-product approach has transformed the company’s daily operations, helping it to better manage cash flow and enabling it to scale faster with confidence. By bridging the gap between material costs and sales revenue, it is now able to keep up to date with invoices while focusing on high-end bespoke innovation.

We love FlexiPay, as it allows us to pay our suppliers and split payments over a few months, helping us to manage cash flow and keep up to date with invoices.

The Nest

Fast access to funds enabled The Nest Climbing to expand its facilities in West London.

How we helped The Nest Climbing

The Nest Climbing in Hayes is more than a gym; it’s a London sanctuary where fitness meets community. Climbing enthusiasts Rob Lawley and Sam Hunter opened The Nest in 2019 to make climbing inclusive, and now the centre offers a welcoming space for bouldering, yoga, and connection. To fuel its growth, a £22,000 Funding Circle Term Loan provided essential funds to expand its facilities and add a cafe, ensuring it remains a supportive ‘nest’ for its vibrant and growing community.

Getting a fast injection of funds meant we could expand our business to offer a cafe as well as top-level climbing experiences; now we’re more embedded in the community than ever.
