Tax deductions of leasing explained! If your business are looking for new equipment or to make an investment, don’t dip into your own cash reserves! Look through our finance options and keep cash flow in your business whilst increasing your profits!
FITISM, a welcoming personal training gym, is on a mission to make regular exercise and good nutrition a staple in their clients' lives. Our team at Johnson Reed recently visited their newest site in Somerford, where they’re dedicated to helping everyday people become leaner, stronger, fitter, and healthier. Upon arrival at FITISM’s latest venue, we were blown away by its stunning transformation. Housed in a converted farm barn, the gym has quickly become a hotspot for new members eager to join sessions crafted by experienced coaches and trainers. These sessions cater to everyone, from seasoned gym-goers to complete beginners. The sense of community at FITISM is truly remarkable. Despite being open for just a few weeks, positive relationships between clients are already flourishing, thanks to the warm and inviting atmosphere created by FITISM’s staff and facilities. Founder Matt and Director Ali reached out to us at Johnson Reed to secure top-tier equipment for their 6-week challenge. This challenge aims to help clients reduce body fat, build lean muscle, and boost overall fitness. By leasing the equipment, FITISM preserved their cash reserves while accessing high-quality gear tailored to their market. Now, Matt can allocate his capital more strategically as they explore the possibility of opening a fourth site. From the outset, Peter understood Matt and Ali’s vision and collaborated closely with the equipment supplier to ensure timely delivery. Ali praised Peter for going “above and beyond” to ensure a smooth, seamless process from start to finish. Discover how Johnson Reed can help you invest effectively with our flexible finance options, preserving your cash reserves and supporting your growth. Let us help you achieve your goals!
Launching amidst a global pandemic might seem like a bold move, but for Aji Akokomi, the visionary and Founder of Akoko, it was an opportunity to redefine culinary excellence. Fast forward four years and a Michelin Star later, Akoko stands as a testament to his culinary genius. Nestled in London's vibrant Fitzrovia neighbourhood, Akoko brings to life the rich and diverse flavours of West Africa. Aji's menu showcases and encapsulates the essence of Nigeria, Ghana, The Gambia, and Senegal, taking diners on a gastronomic journey like no other. His signature dish is thinly sliced tender Ox Tongue with spicy and smoky flavours from the firewood grill, it’s then served with a bone marrow emulsion. “This is the dish which customers find the most interesting, just cooking with the tongue is really important, using something that most people would usually throw away we have created something special, creative and delicious” Aji told me. Michelin stars are awarded to restaurants around the world which offer “outstanding cooking”, its considered the barometer of culinary success and has taken Akoko up another level.“The Michelin star comes from chefs work, we continually improve with exceptional cooking, attention to detail and amazing service and we were so elated” Aji went onto say as the Akoko brand now attracts diners and chefs from around the world. Across the River Thames, in Borough Market you’ll find Akara, a casual a la carte dining experience which captures the impact of West African cuisine around the world. With particular recognition for Brazilian and Indian cuisines, the market stall is shining light on the traditional West African dish, Akara, going back to its roots, using the same techniques whilst having culinary influences from around the world. The Akoko and Akara projects have had an exceptional team behind them, all of which believed and shared the same hunger and desire to succeed and push through the challenging pandemic. “Everyone believed in what we were doing, from our terrific PR and marketing team to Johnson Reed who provided the finance for the projects”. Johnson Reed's hospitality and catering finance were instrumental in acquiring Michelin Star-level equipment while preserving cash reserves during the challenging pandemic. With affordable monthly repayments, Akoko and Akara soared to extraordinary heights, setting a new standard in culinary excellence. If your business is ready to invest in new equipment or embark on a new venture, explore our flexible finance options before tapping into your own resources. At Johnson Reed, we're here to help turn your hospitality dreams into reality.

Following the success of six stores across the North East, the one-stop takeaway Gills carried out a full refurbishment of the Ponteland store. Gills have just recently announced the grand opening of the restaurant dine-in service at their latest store. The buzz of the news rippled through the town and diners could enjoy a restaurant experience whilst eating their favourite takeaway treats. The fresh new look for Gills has transformed Merton Way, and with Gills running the shop for 13 years, Managing Director, Sonny Gill “felt it was important to give the shop a fresh look to step up like The Blackbird and The Diamond Inn have done and bearing in mind the new ventures in Ponteland”. Serving the North East since 1977, Gills menus offers freshly caught fish and chunky chips as well as chicken, pizza , burgers and kebabs meaning there’s no need compromise is needed for any family member on treat night. Sonny has been with Johnson Reed for over 8 years and wouldn’t work with anyone else other than the Chippy and Fast Food Finance expert, Mark Johnson. Sonny has been able to “carry out this major refurbishment where every piece of equipment will be brand new – for example, a high-spec frying range has been shipped in from the Netherlands”. Sonny secured the latest and best equipment, by just leasing it. Keeping his cash in the bank, it wasn’t a case of not having the funds available, it was more the benefits Gills would access by using JR’s fluid finance options. Before you dip into your own pockets, take a look at our fluid finance options. Invest in the right way in 2024, with JR, you can unlock the next stage in your growth journey.
No.6 Performance has been unlocking the performance potential of all of its members since opening its doors in mid-September. We took a trip North-East, to visit the elite training facility and community which Six Nations Champion, Mark Wilson has curated. Their launch day and free taster sessions were filled instantaneously and a new found community spirit has been sparked across Ryton. The No.6 Team developed specialist programmes which challenged potential new members as well as embedded their pillars of passion, positivity and progression. No.6 Performance is a small group personalised training gym offering an elite training facility with a team environment and a real sense of community. With their varied professional performance packages, there is a range of session types to suit personalised fitness goals. The innovative, specially designed kit was supplied and installed by Blk Box, who have cemented their reputation as the leading manufacturer for training equipment engineered for performance. The process was easy for Mark at No.6, who said “Once I got in touch with Blk Box and Johnson Reed it was a really smooth process, it was all put into one, simple to understand package. I didn’t have to do too much and it meant I could focus on other important things surrounding the business”. Mark just leased it, securing the elite and professional quality equipment to kick-start No.6 Performance and attracting members from the get-go. JR’s fluid finance allowed Mark to keep his cash in the bank over the busy school holiday period and lifted a lot of the stress off his shoulders. Cash is king for every business, especially at the beginning of a business journey. We understood Mark’s business journey was just beginning, and our fitness finance guru, Antony used his experience and imagination to ensure Mark made the right investments with kit and equipment.
