Arbutus Bread set to expand with funding

Artisan bread producer Arbutus Bread in Mayfield, Cork, has raised €26,000 from peer-to-peer (P2P) lender Linked Finance to fund expansion of the business with the purchase of new bread making equipment.

Michelin chef Declan Ryan launched Arbutus Bread in 1999, having sold Arbutus Lodge Hotel, the first restaurant to achieve a Michelin Star in Ireland.
