Financing Event: Refinance
PNC Deal Leader: Justin Edwards
Established in 1987, Banner is one of the UK’s leading school wear suppliers, employing 340 people across four main sites in Trowbridge, Runcorn, Stockport and Seaham and also in 31 retail stores.
The business has grown considerably in recent years through supply chain integration to the end customer and product range expansion. Banner is a staunch supporter of ethical trading.
Getting the deal done in a very compressed timeframe, PNC provided a one-stop funding solution of working capital through Asset Based Lending revolving facilities, aligned with PNC’s Steel City Capital Funding term loan offering.
The funding supports both the seasonal nature of the business and provides the liquidity for future acquisitions. The deal speed supported Banner in completing another key acquisition just prior to Christmas, whilst meeting their ordering needs.
PNC were in tune with our requirements right from the initial meeting. They quickly grasped our business and put together a funding solution that simplified administration and gave us material headroom for future growth.
