Deal enables charity to weather COVID storm A major international charity with iconic UK visitor attractions needed a cost-effective debt financing solution to maintain liquidity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The charity engaged FRP to negotiate a flexible financing package that would meet immediate funding needs, support essential capital expenditure, and help them to weather any sustained reduction in visitor numbers during the pandemic.

FRP secures £8.5 million refinance package for CED Stone CED Stone Group is a family business supplying British and imported natural stone paving solutions from six depots across the UK and an office in New York. The £19 million turnover business wanted to complete a reorganisation of its group structure, and source new working capital for growth. The company approached FRP to assess the available funding options.
