Refinancing of Banking Arrangements

The Company is pleased to announce that it has signed new committed banking arrangements with Barclays.  The new arrangements, with maximum draw down of £25.3 million, have a final maturity date of June 2023; they have been structured by means of a senior term loan, together with invoice discounting, asset finance and export finance facilities, and an overdraft.  These new arrangements will replace those existing with Barclays that were due to mature in June 2021.

Commenting, Faisal Rahmatallah, Chairman, said: "We are pleased to report the refinancing of our facilities with Barclays, who have been our bankers for the last eight years. The new facilities give us the financial flexibility to support our continued organic growth."
