CF Booth, a family-owned metal recycling business based in Rotherham, has secured a £20 million asset-based lending facility from Independent Growth Finance (IGF) to fund expansion and operational improvements.
Founded in the 1920s, CF Booth has grown from a local metal trader into one of Europe’s largest independently operated metal recycling companies. The firm employs more than 200 staff and trades both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, supplying recycled materials to customers across the UK and internationally.
The new financing is intended to enhance working capital and support ongoing investment in the company’s operations and performance. Interpath Advisory acted as the adviser on the transaction.
The facility positions CF Booth to pursue additional growth opportunities, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen its ability to take on new contracts.
