Turtle Bay, the Caribbean restaurant chain led by Las Iguanas founder Ajith Jajawickrema, is set for a major expansion across the UK after receiving funding from Santander bank.
10 new sites are planned for the group which will create a total of 200 new jobs over the next couple of years.
The group has sites in Bristol, Southampton, Nottingham and Milton Keynes. Bristol-based Jajawickrema said: “I am delighted that we have secured this funding with Santander, which will enable us to open up to ten new restaurants and create around 200 jobs over the next couple of years. Santander has really taken time to understand our business and understand the potential of the concept. I look forward to working with them in the future.”
