Construction materials group, SigmaRoc has landed a huge funding boost from Santander Corporate & Commercial.

The group secured £14 million to support its acquisition-led growth strategy, and refinanced unsecured convertible loan notes held by shareholders.

We are continuing our search for additional acquisitions where we feel we can deliver extra value and firmly believe that we will continue to transform and grow the business across 2019."
