The Company was incorporated to facilitate the purchase of the shareholding of Grayton Holdings Limited in 2024. As part of this acquisition the Qualifying Floating Charge Holder, BPC, provided a £6.25m funding facility to the Company, cross-guaranteed by all group entities. BPC held a fixed charge over the Company’s 100% shareholding in GHL.
