Detailed Information

In 1995 HSBC Private Equity led and arranged a £140 million (€225 million) financing for the management buyout of Bryan Contract Hire (‘BCH’).

BCH was founded in 1958 and has traded since then as a vehicle contract hire and leasing company. Associated products and services include contract purchase, economy contracts, fleet management and personal leasing. Corporate and personal products are supported by a range of services including accident management, short term car rental and fuel cards. The company has a fleet of approximately 8,500 vehicles.
In 1997, following a competitive tendering process, BCH appointed HSBC Investment Bank to arrange for the successful listing of its shares on the London Stock Exchange.
Not all deals require a complete in-house service and HSBC Private Equity seeks the best quotes for every aspect of the deal. However, as the BCH deal shows we can also introduce the resources of the HSBC Group to provide a broad range of financial services to the investee company.
