Founded in 1982 as Greater London Enterprise (GLE). In 2016, we rebranded as Newable to reflect our bold growth agenda and the growing national footprint of our activities.

Newable is a company limited by guarantee. …does not have a share capital or any shareholders, but members who control it. Our members comprise the 33 London Boroughs and the City of London Corporation. Our members have two representatives on the board.

In order to thrive, businesses require loans and / or equity investment, advice and workspaces. Therefore, Newable’s has four main pillars – LENDING, INVESTING, ADVICE and PROPERTY united by the common goal of developing and delivering high quality specialist products and services to meet these essential needs.

• assisted 7,400 companies to increase their exports;
