Funding Story:
We are delighted to have supported Marine and Towage Services Group Ltd (MTS), with a £5m refinance package.
Following the acquisition of a majority stake in July 2020 by Cable Capital Partners, ThinCats was approached to provide a refinance package of the existing bank debt.
Thincats was supported on the transaction with legal advice from Dean Gormley and the team at Clyde & Co, with industry & valuation services from Simon Morgan of SIA Group. MTS were advised by a team led by Nicola Kirk of Gateley PLC.
Gary Nutley, Senior Director, Business Development, ThinCats: “With over 25 years’ experience in the commercial marine sector, Jon is very highly respected within the industry and has built a strong reputation based on delivering quality service. He has a very strong team behind him, and we are delighted to be able to support them with this funding.”
We are delighted to secure new funding facilities. The team at ThinCats excelled in understanding MTS’ objectives, provided a well-structured, flexible facility, and completed a transaction in a short space of time despite the current challenges we all face during lockdown. We are now in a very strong position and plan to take advantage of growth opportunities once restrictions ease
