Terra Firma props up Wyevale Garden Centres


The Sunday Telegraph has revealed today that Terra Firma had to dip into its warchest to buy out £25m of bank debt related to the purchase of Wyevale Garden Centres in 2012.

The story reveals that Wyevale "came within a whisker of breaching its banking covenants at the start of the year after a slump in earnings" and after failing to re-negotiate terms had to buy the debt using funds from their €1bn warchest.
