The British Business Bank has announced the first deal from the Investment Fund for Northern Ireland after fund manager, Whiterock, facilitated a £100,000 loan to The Bucks Head Inn in Dundrum.
Under new owners, Alex Greene and Bronagh McCormick, the popular Co Down restaurant, bar and guestrooms has undergone a major refurbishment. Alex went on to work in restaurants around the world including Michelin star establishments, most recently at Deanes EIPIC where he was Head Chef. He also starred in two seasons of the Great British Menu.
Bronagh said: "Dating back to the eighteenth century, The Bucks Head is extremely well known. The Investment Fund for Northern Ireland loan has supported us in bringing our vision for The Bucks Head to life."
Whiterock Investment Director Una Warnock said: "This is a fantastic first deal for Whiterock as one of the fund managers for the Investment Fund for Northern Ireland."
