Our role
Our UK Direct Lending team is pleased to have provided senior working capital facilities to support DBAY Advisors and their logistics platform, WS Holdco, with its acquisition of EV Cargo Solutions and Distribution.
Investec’s M&A and Direct Lending teams have an already well-established relationship with DBAY Advisors, having last year advised on their £362 million acquisition of Alliance Pharma as well as providing senior debt facilities to support their acquisition of The Alternative Parcels Company (“APC”).
We are delighted to be working with DBAY Advisors again on this significant transaction, which highlights our extensive experience in the logistics sector and our ability to deliver bespoke financing solutions.
