Mae Threewise Entertainment, sydd wedi'i leoli yn Birmingham, wedi sicrhau \u00a3100,000 mewn cyllid trwy Fenthyciadau Busnes BCRS i ehangu ei fusnes i'r farchnad drwyddedu broffidiol, wrth iddo gyhoeddi dychweliad cymeriad plant Prydeinig annwyl, Bagpuss.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mae'r buddsoddiad gan Gronfa Buddsoddi Cymunedol (CIEF) a Chronfa Buddsoddi Peiriannau Canolbarth Lloegr II (MEIF II) wedi galluogi Threewise Entertainment i ehangu'r busnes y tu hwnt i gynhyrchu ffilm a theledu traddodiadol i'r sector adloniant a thrwyddedu cymeriadau blynyddol gwerth \u00a3116Bn.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wedi'i sefydlu yn 2020 gan Michael Ford, sy'n frodor o Ganolbarth Lloegr, mae Threewise Entertainment yn gwmni cynhyrchu annibynnol i blant a theuluoedd. Mae'r cwmni eisoes wedi creu rhaglenni ar gyfer darlledwyr mawr, gan gynnwys 'Rock Island Mysteries' ar gyfer Nickelodeon, a gafodd ei enwebu am Wobr Logie Awstralia 2025 am y 'Rhaglen Blant Orau' ochr yn ochr \u00e2'r ffefryn animeiddio i blant, Bluey.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mae penodi Threewise Entertainment fel y Partner Trwyddedu Treftadaeth Swyddogol ar gyfer Bagpuss yn garreg filltir arwyddocaol i'r cwmni. Wedi'i greu'n wreiddiol gan Oliver Postgate a Peter Firmin, ymddangosodd y gath frethyn streipiog binc a hufen annwyl gyntaf ar deledu'r BBC ym 1974 ac mae'n parhau i fod yn un o gymeriadau plant mwyaf annwyl Prydain. Ar yr un pryd, mae Threewise Entertainment bellach yn datblygu addasiad ffilm nodwedd sgrin fawr a fydd yn dod \u00e2 Bagpuss i gynulleidfaoedd sinema am y tro cyntaf, gyda'r cwmni ar fin dod yn Stiwdio Gynhyrchu Legacy ar gyfer y ffilm arfaethedig.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mae'r cyllid hefyd wedi galluogi'r cwmni i gryfhau ei d\u00eem arweinyddiaeth gyda chyn-weithredwyr o Hasbro a Disney, a chyfleoedd i ehangu'n rhyngwladol gyda'r buddsoddwr a'r cyd-sylfaenydd, Luna Luo, yn cefnogi'r cwmni gyda'i gwybodaeth leol ar gyfer ehangu ar draws marchnad Dwyrain Asia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mae marchnad fyd-eang plant a theuluoedd yn cynrychioli cyfle twf sylweddol, gyda gwerthiannau nwyddau trwyddedig yn cyrraedd \u00a3280 biliwn yn 2024, ac mae cynhyrchion sy'n seiliedig ar gymeriadau yn cyfrif am 41.4% o'r farchnad, gan ddangos y potensial sylweddol ar gyfer Threewise Entertainment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bydd y cwmni'n defnyddio rhywfaint o'r arian i fuddsoddi yn ei arddangosfa sydd ar ddod yn sioe Brand Licensing Europe yn yr Excel yn Llundain ar Hydref 7-9, lle bydd yn datgelu ei drwyddedai swyddogol cyntaf ers cymryd yr awenau fel partner trwyddedu a chwmni cynhyrchu ar gyfer Bagpuss.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dywedodd Michael Ford, Sylfaenydd a Chyfarwyddwr Threewise Entertainment,<\/span><\/b>: <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMae\u2019r gefnogaeth gan BCRS Business Loans wedi bod yn drawsnewidiol i\u2019n busnes. Fe wnaethon nhw ddeall ein gweledigaeth fel cwmni adrodd straeon a darparu cyllid ar yr amser perffaith. Mae\u2019r buddsoddiad hwn wedi ein galluogi i ymuno \u00e2\u2019r farchnad trwyddedu cymeriadau a bydd yn ein cefnogi i ddod ag un o gymeriadau plant mwyaf annwyl Prydain yn \u00f4l i\u2019r sgriniau ar gyfer cenhedlaeth newydd.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Dywedodd Rheolwr Datblygu Busnes Benthyciadau Busnes BCRS Mark Savill:<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMae Threewise Entertainment yn cynrychioli\u2019n union y math o fenter greadigol yr ydym yn falch o\u2019i chefnogi yng Ngorllewin Canolbarth Lloegr. Mae eu hehangu i faes trwyddedu yn dangos craffter busnes go iawn ac rydym yn gyffrous i weld beth sydd gan y dyfodol i\u2019w gynnig.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Dywedodd Beth Bannister, Uwch Reolwr Buddsoddi yn y British Business Bank: <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cRydym wrth ein bodd yn gweld Threewise Entertainment yn sicrhau cyllid hanfodol, gan alluogi ehangu i\u2019r farchnad fyd-eang. Mae penodiad y cwmni fel y partner trwyddedu treftadaeth swyddogol ar gyfer Bagpuss yn nodi cam mawr ymlaen, nid yn unig i\u2019r cwmni, ond i economi greadigol ehangach y Canolbarth.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDyma enghraifft berffaith o sut y gall Cronfa Buddsoddi Peiriannau Canolbarth Lloegr II helpu i ddatgloi potensial, creu swyddi, a helpu busnesau sy\u2019n tyfu fel Threewise i ehangu\u2019n genedlaethol ac yn rhyngwladol.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dywedodd Chris Sood-Nicholls, Rheolwr Gyfarwyddwr, Cynaliadwyedd Datblygu Rhanbarthol a Chyllid ESG, o Gr\u0175p Bancio Lloyds: <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cMae busnesau bach yn pweru econom\u00efau lleol. Dyna pam rydyn ni\u2019n cefnogi\u2019r Gronfa Buddsoddi Cymunedol gwerth \u00a362 miliwn ac yn gweithio gyda Sefydliadau Cyllid Datblygu Cymunedol i ymestyn cyllid i gwmn\u00efau na all benthyca prif ffrwd eu cyrraedd bob amser. Rydyn ni\u2019n falch o weld cyllid eisoes yn cael ei ddefnyddio ledled Gorllewin Canolbarth Lloegr, gyda Threewise Entertainment, sydd wedi\u2019i leoli yn Birmingham, yn elwa drwy Fenthyciadau Busnes BCRS. Byddwn yn parhau i weithio gyda phartneriaid fel y gall mwy o fusnesau bach a chanolig fuddsoddi, tyfu a chreu swyddi yn y rhanbarth.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Dywedodd Chris Jamieson, Pennaeth Buddsoddiadau yn Social Investment Scotland: <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cFel rheolwr cronfa ar gyfer Cronfa Menter Buddsoddi Cymunedol, rydym wrth ein bodd yn cefnogi twf Threewise Entertainment i\u2019r sector trwyddedu ac yn chwarae rhan wrth ddod \u00e2 Bagpuss yn \u00f4l yn fyw i genhedlaeth newydd. Mae\u2019r buddsoddiad hwn yn dangos sut y gall cyllid hygyrch helpu busnesau creadigol fel Threewise i ddatgloi cyfleoedd newydd a gwneud cyfraniad economaidd a chymdeithasol cadarnhaol i\u2019w cymunedau lleol.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Mae Benthyciadau Busnes BCRS yn darparu cyllid rhwng \u00a325,000 a \u00a3250,000 i fusnesau bach a chanolig ledled Gorllewin Canolbarth Lloegr a Chymru sy'n methu \u00e2 chael y cyllid sydd ei angen arnynt o ffynonellau traddodiadol. Mae'r sefydliad wedi ymrwymo i fenthyca i fusnesau hyfyw sy'n gwneud cyfraniad cadarnhaol at lesiant cymdeithasol, amgylcheddol neu economaidd eu cymunedau.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nod y Gronfa Buddsoddi Cymunedol newydd gwerth \u00a362 miliwn, a ariennir gan Lloyds ynghyd \u00e2'r buddsoddwr effaith gymdeithasol Better Society Capital a chyfraniadau gan Sefydliadau Ariannol Datblygu Cymunedol sy'n cymryd rhan, yw buddsoddi mewn 800 o fusnesau bach yn genedlaethol a chefnogi 10,500 o swyddi.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mae Cronfa Buddsoddi Injans Canolbarth Lloegr II yn ysgogi twf economaidd cynaliadwy trwy gefnogi arloesedd a chreu cyfleoedd lleol ar gyfer busnesau newydd a thwf ledled Canolbarth Lloegr. Bydd y Midlands Engine Investment Fund II yn cynyddu cyflenwad ac amrywiaeth cyllid cyfnod cynnar ar gyfer busnesau llai o faint yng nghanolbarth Lloegr, gan ddarparu cyllid i gwmn\u00efau na fyddent efallai fel arall yn derbyn buddsoddiad a helpu i chwalu rhwystrau o ran mynediad at gyllid.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yn ddiweddar, dathlodd Benthyciadau Busnes BCRS ddarparu \u00a36.2m mewn benthyciadau i gyfanswm o 75 o gwmn\u00efau, gan greu 208 o swyddi a diogelu 730 o swyddi pellach wrth gynhyrchu \u00a332m mewn gwerth economaidd ychwanegol i Orllewin Canolbarth Lloegr a Chymru. Gyda Benthyciadau Busnes BCRS yn canolbwyntio ar gwmn\u00efau sydd heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol mewn benthyca traddodiadol, roedd 31 y cant o'r busnesau bach a chanolig yn cael eu harwain gan fenywod.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yn y flwyddyn ariannol ddiwethaf, arweiniodd benthyca trwy Fenthyciadau Busnes BCRS at ddiogelu 889 o swyddi a chreu 317 o rolau tra'n ychwanegu \u00a351.2m at economi Gorllewin Canolbarth Lloegr, y rhanbarth cyfagos a Chymru. O'r cyllid, aeth 34.6 y cant i ardaloedd mwyaf difreintiedig y DU.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
