Arbuthnot Commercial ABL funds strategic acquisition in the UK fit‑out sector

Arbuthnot Banking Group

Arbuthnot Commercial Asset Based Lending has delivered a £3.5 million funding package to support the acquisition of D&G Builders and Joiners Ltd by Birch Faraday Capital. The facility was structured to enable the private equity firm’s third portfolio addition, while also injecting working capital to help the business pursue its next stage of growth.

D&G, a long-established contractor based in Chorley, Lancashire, has been operating since 1983. The company provides commercial fit-out, joinery and maintenance services, particularly within the healthcare, education, and broader commercial sectors. It operates across the North West and manages projects valued up to £8 million. Originally a family business, D&G changed hands in 2021 and is now transitioning to private equity ownership, with the current owners remaining on the senior management team.

The acquisition was completed within a four-week timeline, a factor that highlights Arbuthnot Commercial ABL’s capacity to deliver bespoke funding packages within compressed deal schedules.

Arbuthnot Banking Group PLC (LON:ARBB), operating as Arbuthnot Latham, offers private and commercial banking products and services in the United Kingdom. Established in 1833, Arbuthnot Banking is headquartered in London, United Kingdom.
