Bregal Freshstream backs M&J Evans

The business plans to use the fresh capital to boost its growth in its core Midlands market, as well as expand into other regions of the UK.

The GP invested via its €600m maiden fund, which closed in September 2015 and was backed solely by Bregal Investments. The vehicle focuses on mid-market investments and deploys tickets between €30-100m, targeting companies based in the UK and in the Benelux region. 

M&J Evans is the ninth investment made by the fund and follows the acquisitions of handbag brand Radley, specialist contractor Taziker and retail pharmacy chain Juno Health.
