Growth Investment

Nottinghamshire-based company, Doff Portland Limited (“Doff”), has secured a substantial investment package from a group of Midlands-based funding providers to support its ongoing development and working capital requirements.

The company, which is based in Hucknall, is an independent, family-owned business which was founded in 1946 by the father of the current Chairman. It is the UK’s largest independent manufacturer of insecticides, slug pellets, weed-killers and garden products for use in both the domestic and agricultural markets, as well as a supplier of own brand products to a number of major UK retailers.

Equity funding was provided by EV, via the Coalfields Enterprise Fund and Turning Point Investments LLP with banking facilities provided by Yorkshire Bank.

Legal advice was provided to Doff by Gavin White at Fraser Brown Solicitors and to Yorkshire Bank by Shaun McCabe at Browne Jacobson LLP.
