Olly in top gear on £1m investment

Investment group Braveheart has pumped £1 million into the company that produces the children’s television programme Olly the Little White Van.

The money was raised through the Perth firm’s Envestors subsidiary and is part of a £3m total raised since March 2010 by Olly, which has enjoyed surging popularity.

Scott Haughton, director of Envestors, said: “Olly impressed us as a business model entirely different from its industry peers – one that creates a holistic brand with 21st century tools, and is serviced by highly talented people.”
