The facility that Close Brothers are providing is intended to provide significant headroom, allowing the business to manage its cashflow more effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David Hall, managing director at Peritum said: \u201cIt has been critical for us to refinance and the support Debrett\u2019s have provided has been invaluable. They have taken the time to understand the business and its cashflow, and tailored a solution to fit accordingly.
