We assisted with the dramatic turnaround in the prospects of specialist food importer Visual Foods.
Visual (formerly Vision Seafoods), one of the UK’s largest importers of warm water prawns with a turnover of £22m, together with sister company Dragon Delight unexpectedly found itself in administration due to financial problems at its holding company.
During a frantic few weeks of activity, Regent Assay helped to raise a £4.75m working capital facility, which together with funds from a private investor enabled the management team to acquire the business from the administrators. In a comparatively short time, Regent Assay helped ensure that Visual and Dragon could continue to trade, protecting both business and employees.
