"Since leading the MBO of Avonside in 2003, we have grown using our internally generated cash flow and have created a national, market leading roofing and services business. Bringing in an external institutional investor who has seen and supported rapid growth across a range of businesses has brought a new perspective to our board and helped accelerate our success."
