Arbuthnot Commercial ABL supports Emerge Global with their fifth strategic investment
Arbuthnot Commercial Asset Based Lending has supported leading logistics solutions provider, Emerge Global with a strategic investment in Birmingham-based AMG Forwarding.
Arbuthnot Commercial Asset Based Lending (ACABL) has supported leading logistics solutions provider, Emerge Global (Emerge), with a strategic investment in Birmingham-based AMG Forwarding Ltd (AMG).
ACABL provided a revolving funding line, bringing the total Emerge Group facilities to £10.1m. This further boosts the Group’s flexible working capital platform as it continues to drive its impressive growth plans.
AMG is the fifth strategic investment supported by ACABL since the Autumn of 2021, including Berser International Cargo Services, BritAm Shipping, Speed Welshpool, and Seaspace International Forwarders.
Formed in 2003, AMG is a specialist warehouse and fulfilment services business trading with customers globally across a range of sectors from retail and distribution to wholesale, including some leading fashion brands.
Included in a diverse and sophisticated range of AMG’s current projects are gift card replenishment to 7,000 retailer sites, inventory control and replenishment of counter pens for all major banks, forwarding contracts with a major helicopter manufacturer and leading oil and gas companies worldwide, and domestic and international contracts to supply airfield emergency landing lighting equipment.
AMG, which is privately owned, completely independent, and centrally located in the UK, delivers a significant enhancement to Emerge, with a competitive advantage through its turnkey services and 95,000 sq ft of highest quality warehousing space. This latest strategic investment further strengthens Emerge in their position as a leader in full-service third-party logistics and takes Group turnover to in excess of £75m. .
Mark Bigley and Richard Harris, Directors of Emerge Global, said:
“What surprised us more than anything was the level of senior involvement. Arbuthnot Commercial ABL’s commercial director and deputy head of underwriting were closely involved throughout. They travelled from London to Bristol for a face-to-face meeting and spent nearly five hours with us, which really demonstrates their commitment. The team is very experienced, pragmatic, and has a can-do attitude. Arbuthnot is well-suited to our size and profile of business and structured a facility that was exactly right in terms of both funding quantum and advance rate”
Andrew Rutherford, Commercial Director at Arbuthnot Commercial ABL, said:
“Our relationship with Emerge Global is textbook in how we like to support our clients. It’s about complete mutual trust and confidence, highly focused on making our clients’ plans a reality. Our ability to structure multiple facilities demonstrates our commitment to supporting businesses over the long-term.”
