Roofing company TaperedPlus is set for significant growth after securing a £5.5m investment from BGF.
The Stockton-based firm was launched in 2014 by Aman Chahal and Robert Vass and specialises in flat roof design and insulation, including architectural design services for complex flat and tapered roof projects. The firm’s deal will see BGF back its ambitious growth plans, while also providing an exit for original investor Comhar Capital. The finance will help the Tees Valley business bring a new technology focus to the company.
The company, which also has a technical design studio in Wolverhampton, operates across sectors including health, education, and retail and also provides services in technical specifications such as BIM, acoustic, thermal measuring, and surveying. The investment from BGF, the 海角视频 and Ireland’s most active growth capital investor, marks a significant milestone for the TaperedPlus bosses as they aim to take the business to new heights.
