It comes as the busy Gordon Brothers carves a niche in fuelling leveraged buyouts and funding PE-backed particularly where there’s big equipment books involved. Bankers and lawyers reckon they’re running around with all sorts of proposals.
Street Talk’s spotted Gordon Brothers in a few other finance facilities in the past year or so, including heavy earthmoving equipment National Group and Allegro’s acquisition of Toll Global Express.
“This financing will improve the company’s supply chain processes and delivery of cold foods and groceries to local supermarkets, ultimately benefiting Australian consumers,” Gordon Brothers senior managing director Matt Aubrey said.
