## From the administrators' statement

2.1 TLMLaser Ltd was incorporated on 8" December 2005 and began trading in January 2006, by Andrew Toms, John McCafferty and Paul Langham. The purpose of the company was to provide laser servicing and maintenance across the UK.

2.2 The company expanded over the following years to include the supply of a complete range of laser systems for marking, cutting, cleaning, cladding and 3D metal printing. It became the UK & Ireland distribution partner for a number of globally respected brands, including being the sole distribution partner for Alpha Laser and FOBA and continued to offer servicing and maintenance for the machines it sold.

2.3. The company was initially funded via Bank funding from National Westminster Bank Plc which was granted security over the companies assets. In 2015 the company moved from standard invoicing to an invoicing financing facility with RBS Invoice Finance Limited ‘RBSIF’ to provide more regular cash flow to meet its increasing overheads. The RBSIF facility was replaced in 2023 with Investec Capital Solutions Limited which again was granted security over the company’s assets to secure its lending.
