GLE Group

GLE are a professional services group dedicated to encouraging British businesses. They work with businessmen and women at the heart of the economy, helping them to unleash their potential through investment, loans and finance, advice, accommodation and outsourced services. The group is currently made up of five specialised functions: GLE Properties, which acquires, renovates and sells or leases commercial real estate; GLE Connect, which offers IT and web solutions; GLE International Trade Services, which help businesses introduce or expand export operations; GLE Business Loans, which provides responsible finance; and the newly created GLE Consulting arm. GLE is one of the most active and creative supporters of small businesses, working to create jobs, encourage enterprise and equip business with the expertise and resources to compete. It operates purely on commercially secured revenue and aims to achieve a "social" return on its investments and services by taking a longer term view.
