Having successfully secured a number of new bus service contracts, Eifions purchased 4 x new Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 low floor service buses.

Finance for this £0.5m investment in new vehicles was sourced by MAF.  MAF managed the process to ensure finance was arranged promptly, on competitive terms, tailored to match the underlying contract.  MAF also managed communications with Alexander Dennis to ensure payment was made to meet tight delivery timescales.

Commenting on his experience, Eifion Humphreys said "MAF was recommended to me by the supplier Alexander Dennis, and I have to say they were excellent.  I was delighted with their professional approach and ability to source a very competitive deal for us - so much so that I have used MAF on subsequent requirements and would strongly recommend their services".]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Premiere Travel Ltd is a well established independent bus and coach operator based in Nottingham.  Premiere recently completed on the purchase of a local trading division of a local competitor. The transaction included the transfer of several vehicles, and challenging completion deadlines were involved - not helped by the fact that the deal took place over the Christmas period.

This was a major investment for Premiere and MAF was appointed to arrange the funding.  This was done using a combination of MAF's own in-house vehicle funding, and arranging facilities with MAF's external funding partners.

Commenting on his experience Matt Till (Commercial Manager) said; "This was a complex transaction, on which MAF provided invaluable help and support.  The deal involved us purchasing a range of used buses and service contracts.  MAF coordinated our negotiations with a number of different asset funders, leaving us to focus on our negotiations with the vendor."]]></content:encoded>
