The funds will be directed to the company’s estate and as well as to fuel the launch of more hospitality sites.

“We are delighted with the prospect of working with Metro Bank to facilitate our growth over the coming years. They have been very supportive throughout our banking migration process, and their dynamic and proactive approach to lending will be critical in our future plans,” Afnan Bashir, managing director at Auriga Holdings, said.
