Arbuthnot Commercial Asset Based Lending has delivered a £4.5m funding solution to Dunmow Skips Ltd, empowering this Essex-based waste management leader to expand operations and capitalise on growth opportunities. This tailored financial package includes a confidential invoice discounting facility and a Growth Guarantee Scheme loan, designed to refinance existing debt and fuel future expansion.
Since its establishment in 1987, Dunmow has grown from a skip hire firm into a premier waste management operator, processing over 200,000 tonnes of waste annually. Operating from strategically located sites in Chelmsford, Clacton, and Brightlingsea, the company has built an outstanding reputation with over 2,500 five-star Trustpilot reviews. Its Chelmsford site, the largest waste treatment facility in central Essex, positions Dunmow uniquely within the region, particularly as it capitalises on contracts with Essex County Council and the growth of construction activity in towns like Chelmsford.
This bespoke funding package underscores Arbuthnot’s hands-on approach. According to Sam Malins, Group CEO of Dunmow Skips Ltd, Arbuthnot distinguished itself with a personalised, director-level engagement from the outset, taking time to understand the business and its operations. The funding provides critical financial flexibility and supports the modernisation of Dunmow’s infrastructure across its sites, ensuring the company is equipped to meet the demands of its expanding client base, which includes leading housebuilders.
Andrew Rutherford, Commercial Director at Arbuthnot, highlighted Dunmow’s proven success in the waste management sector and its alignment with Arbuthnot’s strategy to support established businesses pursuing ambitious growth. This investment demonstrates Arbuthnot’s commitment to enabling Dunmow to realise its potential through enhanced working capital and a solid foundation for expansion.
Dunmow Skips Ltd has cemented itself as a leader in sustainable waste management, offering comprehensive recycling solutions and robust support for the region’s construction industry.
