Bradford textiles group strengthens international trading with new finance facility

SIL Group, a collective of 20 UK-based textile companies, has secured a multi-million pound asset-based lending facility with Shawbrook Bank. The financing is designed to support the group’s global trading operations, with a particular emphasis on European and Middle Eastern markets.

The group serves designer fashion clients in the UK, including Savile Row tailors, and luxury brands across Europe. Its portfolio spans technical fabrics, high-end fashion materials, and specialty textiles.

The refinancing provides capital to expand international sales, optimise working capital, and invest in operational infrastructure across its UK and Scottish sites. Advisory and restructuring firm Interpath guided SIL Group through the transaction, structuring the lending solution to align with the group’s growth ambitions.

The facility leverages the group’s asset base and established supplier and client networks, offering flexibility for strategic expansion. It positions SIL Group to respond to market opportunities and strengthen its footprint in key global markets.
