Arbuthnot Commercial ABL provides new facility to support the acquisition of UK leader in paper roll manufacturing
Comprehensive facility supporting the acquisition of Tayrol Ltd.
Arbuthnot Commercial Asset Based Lending (ACABL) has delivered a comprehensive facility, consisting of receivables finance, Growth Guarantee Scheme loan, and cashflow loan facilities, to support the acquisition of Tayrol Ltd (Tayrol), one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of paper rolls, by MDV Ventures (MDV).
Based in York and established in 1988, Tayrol manufactures paper rolls and labels for use in a wide range of thermal and plain paper printers. Its products are used across a wide range of applications, including EPOS machines, credit card machines, betting and gaming machines, transport tickets, admission tickets, digital tachograph rolls and various label products including for the takeaway food industry. Tayrol’s products are supplied primarily via trade channels across the UK and Europe. .
With the company’s founder and shareholder, Keith Taylor, seeking a long-term strategy to retire from the business, the acquisition by MDV will see Keith continue in the business as Chair. Day-to-day management of the business transfers to the MDV team. MDV is an experienced, hands-on team focused on growing small-to-medium sized manufacturing, engineering and technical services businesses in the UK, especially where business founders are seeking a long-term exit strategy.
ACABL was appointed after a competitive process that not only focused on supporting the acquisition of Tayrol but also lays the foundation of a long-term business relationship as MDV progresses with its business acquisition strategy.
Andrew Collins, Director, MDV Ventures, said:
"Arbuthnot stood out because of their passion for getting the deal across the line. There were a lot of moving parts in this deal. The direct, open and mutually supportive dialogue we cultivated with each other through the process, together with Arbuthnot’s commercial focus and responsiveness, demonstrated to us that we have established a strong foundation for the future".
Chris Hodgson, Director, MDV Ventures, added:
"We are entering an exciting period for Tayrol. Founder, Keith Taylor’s drive and innovation have created a sector leader. We will sustain that legacy and, with Arbuthnot at our side, create opportunities for growth and expansion."
Scott Curley, Business Development Director (London and South East) at Arbuthnot Commercial Asset Based Lending Limited, said:
"This is an exciting deal for us on two counts. We are delighted to be helping Tayrol build upon its strong performance over the last 37 years. But this deal also lays the foundation for supporting the MDV team over the longer term to deliver its dynamic strategy for acquiring and growing great British manufacturing success stories."
