Nina and her team provided us with invaluable advice throughout the transaction; they are real experts in the retail and consumer goods sector, and in growth capital investments." 

Nina Searle at TLT, says: "YFM has a strong track record of growth capital investments, and we, like YFM, understand that the nature of these investments means that investors, companies and founders all need to work together to maximise future opportunities for growth and success. Despite tough trading conditions, many fashion retailers and brands continue to enjoy strong sales and Frescobol Carioca, with YFM's backing, is a great example of a brand with significant growth potential."
