“Fantastic” exit wrapped up for Floryn Packaging founder

A “fantastic exit partner” has been found for Floryn Packaging founder Christopher O’Neill, with the company receiving investment from Trevose Capital.

Floryn Packaging began trading in 2002 and provides a range of premium packaging solutions to blue-chip consumer and industrial clients across the UK.

In a transaction advised by Charlie Neville, KBS Corporate Deal Executive, Floryn has become the first platform investment of Trevose Capital, headed by Billy Cockerton.

“After decades of building a business, Trevose Capital has been a fantastic exit partner,” commented Christopher O’Neill.

“The industrial plan they have designed and are implementing with their operating partners is world class, and I’m thrilled to be a strategic adviser to the business over the coming years as it begins an exciting new chapter.”

Billy Cockerton said the approach of Trevose Capital is to partner with “founders and management teams who value a long-term perspective, operational discipline and an industrial mindset”. 

“There is clear demand for patient, aligned capital to support succession planning and the next phase of transformational growth for high-quality small companies,” explained Billy.

“Floryn Packaging has built a strong reputation for product and service quality, reliability and long-standing relationships. We are working closely with management to strengthen the platform and support sustainable, long-term growth.

“Thank you to our equity investors and financing partners for their support in completing our first investment and backing our long-term vision. We look forward to building enduring partnerships together.”
