Recapitalisation of Scott Dunn

GCA Altium advised Scott Dunn on their recapitalisation following a majority investment by Inflexion Private Equity in December 2014. This is the fifth transaction GCA Altium’s UK debt team has completed since starting out in September 2014.

Based in the UK, Scott Dunn is an award-winning luxury tour operator. It creates worldwide tailor-made holidays, bespoke experiences, as well as offering luxury ski chalets and Mediterranean villas.

GCA Altium ran a competitive process alongside negotiation with the CAA, raising debt facilities to support the current business and providing flexibility for its future plans.

Philip Edmans from Inflexion said: “It was a pleasure to once again work with the debt advisory team at GCA Altium. They showed a thorough understanding of Scott Dunn and a keen appreciation for the Company’s and Inflexion’s financing requirements. They achieved an excellent result.”
