At Metrick Limited, we are passionate about helping businesses and entrepreneurs unlock opportunities through grants and funding. One of our most recent success stories is with Watergate Fishing Lake, one of the North East’s top destinations for carp fishing.

We recently supported the lake’s director in securing a five-figure grant to expand and develop the site. This funding has transformed the lake and opening new opportunities for both visitors and the local community while also reducing the return on investment thanks to the significant grant.

Transforming Watergate Fishing Lake with Grant Funding

With the secured funding, the director has plans to take Watergate Fishing Lake to the next level:

Five luxury glamping pods and concrete bases are being installed, turning the site into a family-friendly destination.
A brand-new air rifle shooting range.
Visitors will soon enjoy a more comfortable and unique stay, moving beyond the traditional tent-only accommodation.
This expansion not only boosts tourism but also creates a sustainable, long-term business model.

Why Funding and Grants Matter

Projects like Watergate Fishing Lake show just how powerful grants and funding can be.

They don’t just provide financial support—they help ideas become reality. Whether it’s tourism, leisure, or community-driven projects, securing the right funding can:

Expand business opportunities
Hire or train Staff
Improve visitor experience
Create sustainable growth
Support local communities
Deliver long-term personal and financial rewards

At Metrick Limited, we specialise in helping clients identify, secure, and manage funding to fuel their projects.
