Langdon Capital is pleased to announce it has successfully raised £10 million in a debt facility for Preventr Services Group, the London-based national fire protection specialist and a portfolio company of Tandy Ventures, to fund a key acquisition and its strategic growth plans. Langdon Capital raised the capital from a private credit fund.



Jamil Anakkar, Founder and Chief Executive of Preventr commented:

 

"The financial support provided by this debt facility has enabled us to accelerate our pace of growth through acquisitions as well as internal transformation projects, helping us to position as a leader in the UK fire safety marketplace. The acquisition of Passive Fire Safety Solutions Limited is an important milestone for the group as it complements our existing fire door manufacturing capability. We now have the ability to offer full-scope passive protection services on a national basis, strengthening our proposition to clients who require trusted partners capable of delivering at scale."

 

Sabbir Rahman, CEO of Langdon Capital commented:

 

"This transaction underscores the appetite institutional investors have for regulated and compliance focused sectors in the UK lower mid-market and SME space and is a testament to our capital raising expertise and extensive transactional experience. We are delighted at helping Jamil and the Preventr team take a critical step towards realising their growth ambitions."
