LEBRUIN ANNOUNCES 16% INCREASE IN AFTER-TAX PROFITS

LeBruin, a leading corporate finance and debt advisory provider based in Dublin, has today announced its annual results for the year ending 30th April 2015.

The results show an increase of 15.6% in after-tax profits to €760,000, and an increase in turnover of 48% to €3.25m.

2015 was another successful year for LeBruin, with the business continuing to grow throughout the year. In April 2015, LeBruin opened a London office, hiring a dedicated business development manager to strengthen the company’s relationship with funders. A further business development manager was hired to service non-Dublin locations, including Galway, Cork and Limerick. In addition, the company launched Origin Capital Limited, a senior debt funder specialising in commercial real estate transactions between €3m and €20m. Overall staff numbers (including Origin Capital) increased by 64% over the last 12 months.

Commenting on the annual results, Tom Browne, Managing Director of LeBruin noted: “2015 has been a year of significant growth for LeBruin, most notably with the launch of Origin Capital, which has already established itself as a genuine alternative to traditional funding options in the Irish market, having lent over €50m since its formation. In addition, LeBruin’s expansion into London and the rest of Ireland has strengthened our position as a leading provider of capital raising solutions.”
