Our Investors

ART is an independent, mutual, organisation, which relies on investment by companies and individuals, who are interested in a social rather than a financial return, to provide its revolving loan fund. Corporate and individual investment provides a base from which ART is able to attract additional funds from a variety of public and private sector sources, including the banks.

Thanks to ongoing support from our investors and supporters, both private and public, ART is in a position to lend £2m over the next 2 years.

Investors include Jaguar, IMI, Severn Trent, Wesleyan Asurance Society, Natwest, Barclays, West Bromwich Building Society, Sir Adrian Cadbury, Sir Richard Knowles, Sir Digby Jones and a host of other less well-known companies and individuals who understand, and are committed to, ART's aims.

An investment in ART is an investment in the local economy,from which everyone living and working in Birmingham ultimately benefits.
