Walker Morris assist with successful refinance and investment for Trutex Limited

Walker Morris’ Finance and Corporate teams have successfully completed the refinance and equity investment into school wear brand, Trutex Limited (Trutex).  Elaghmore provided an equity investment in Trutex and Aurelius Finance Company Limited provided new debt facilities. The transaction, finalised on February 14, 2024, marks a significant milestone for Trutex and places it on a strong footing for future trading.

Walker Morris is advising Mattioli Woods PLC on the recommended takeover offer by Tiger Bidco Limited.

Trutex, renowned for its longstanding reputation as one of the UK’s leading producers of quality school wear, has secured a refinancing deal worth £18.5 million with Aurelius Finance Company Limited. These facilities alongside the Elaghmore investment will support the growth of Trutex. It will help them expand not only in the UK but also internationally. Trutex already has a foothold in Dubai, and now are looking to strengthen their position in the Chinese and Saudi Arabian markets.

Phil Scott and Debbie Jackson led the Walker Morris cross-discipline team including, Laura Swift, Lauren Hall, Rebecca Orange, Gawain Moore and Evelyn Lewzey.

Matthew Easter, group chief executive of Trutex, said: “The investment by Elaghmore and the new finance facility will support our ambitious growth plans. Trutex is a great brand that has performed strongly over recent years, as schools and parents recognise the importance of style and durability when it comes to school uniforms. We are already the market leader in the UK supplying thousands of schools, and there are substantial opportunities to take our heritage and expertise to new international markets in Asia and the Middle East, particularly.”

Phil Scott, Banking and Finance partner added: “It’s been a pleasure to advise Trutex and contribute to their ongoing growth and success.”
