Alcuin is a supportive lead investor with a strong preference for owner-managed businesses and has helped build several truly unique, world-class businesses.
The Travers Smith team was led by Finance Partner Katie McMenamin with support from Associates Jason Larkins and Kamila Wisniewska and Trainee Alice Stephen.
Jen Murray, Head of Financial Sponsors at Shawbrook, commented "We are delighted to work with Alcuin as they support TuffX Glass to deliver its next phase of investment and expansion, and look forward to seeing their long and successful journey together. As always we are grateful for the continued support of Travers Smith as a go-to legal adviser on our unitranche product and were impressed with the strength of the entire team, particularly the expert advice from Jason throughout the transaction."
