Cameron Barney advises Grain on its £75million equity investment from Equitix


August 2021

Grain, a leading provider of fibre-optic internet access services to new-build and existing homes across the UK, has announced a £75million equity investment from Equitix, one of Europe’s leading infrastructure investors, alongside Albion Capital, its existing institutional backer.

Grain plans to extend its footprint to cover an initial 300,000 homes and businesses across Great Britain, with a focus on both new-build housing developments and existing urban housing. 

Cameron Barney acted as financial adviser to Grain on this fundraising, continuing its relationship with the Company having also advised on its previous fundraising from Albion Capital, in 2019.  

 
We are delighted to have secured such an excellent funding partner in Equitix, a leading investor in European infrastructure with a long-term investment strategy and clear vision for our business. The Grain team are already accelerating the build programme and are hugely excited about the opportunity to scale up the excellent national platform that we have already established.
— Sean Williams, Chairman, Grain
