About this deal

Here, BusinessLive lifts the lid of the AIM-listed group which has experienced rapid growth over recent years. History He was previously the founder partner, chief operating officer and head of portfolio at NorthEdge Capital. Innovation is key at Accrol, and the company’s latest development is a ‘super-soft’ tissue that fits into the firm’s mid-tier ‘better’ category. Launched just before Christmas, the product was produced in partnership with two major retailers, as well as a tissue manufacturer that has worked with the company for the last 12 years. Only available in the UK, the tissue is very close in softness to branded products and has been immensely successful since its release. It marks yet another victory for Accrol’s product innovation department. The ‘Paperchase exclusively for Tesco’ collection features four ranges including Rainbow, Pastel Ombre, Artful Scribbles and Confetti across items such as notepads, pens, highlighters, washi tapes and gift wrap.

FY23/24 cash generation will be "quite profound" as capex on automation is complete and debt should fall rapidly. Debt guidance may be in the YE update or we may have to wait for the full update later in the year. Accrol is proud of its record as a responsible employer and has previously committed to matching or exceeding living wage thresholds in all of its locations. The mill will deliver on this commitment and will also be fully captured within, and reported on, in Accrol's future ESG reporting.Currently there is a big gap between market expectations and the quoted ambition of EBITDA in teens and gross margins of up to 30% However, it has always been clear to us that price rises alone cannot be the whole solution, especially if the current inflationary environment begins to ease. We owe it to all of our stakeholders, including our customers, to find a broader solution that allows us to maintain the price leadership that our customers value, whilst also reducing our internal risk profile. As we have discussed before, we have long believed that securing our own paper mill capacity is critical to achieving this outcome. The challenge for the Board, throughout the Strategic Review process, has been to find the optimal solution from a stakeholder perspective. Our plans for a sustainable mill solution have advanced greatly in recent months, and we are pleased to outline these below. Identifying and securing the right long-term solution for each key element on the project, however, takes time and we will announce key milestones in the project, as they are achieved. Mr Wright has held the role since February 2018 having previously been a non-executive director since December 2017.

As the mill solution has progressed, we are now in a position to provide an indicative outline of what we believe Accrol will be capable of delivering over the medium to long-term, if we maintain our current pace of execution against our commercial strategy: Paperchase at Tesco’ has launched with four core ranges – Rainbow, Pastel Ombre, Artful Scribbles and Confetti – all offering a wide selection of themed stationery products, including notepads, pens, highlighters, washi tapes and gift wrap.

Earlier in 2020, as the outbreak of Covid-19 led to widespread panic-buying of essential goods across the UK, Accrol experienced a rapid spike in demand for its products. Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the company maintained supply to all of its key customers without incident. With a variety of trends available in the range we’re making it easy for shoppers to express themselves and find something to suit their individual personality whilst doing their weekly shop- whether that’s someone who loves working with bright neon colours, a detailed organiser who prefers neutrals or something in-between. Leicester Tissue Company supplies to more than 27 countries, and specialises in paper making and converting paper reels into a variety of tissue-based products. Who owns Accrol Group? Our vision is to deliver the best possible value to the UK consumer on essential everyday tissue products. We are shaking up traditional tissue brands by delivering the quality the consumer wants for the price they want to pay. Looking at recent history, acquisitions may lead to additional debt or additional shares being issued if ACRL share price is at a much higher level.

Posted at 25/11/2023 20:34 by darrin1471I was initially underwhelmed by the trading update as I had hoped for bigger improvements by now. As Accrol strives towards ‘operational excellence’, environmentally friendly working practices are becoming an increasingly central part of the operation. Dedicated to sustainability, the business plans to source 100 per cent of its energy from renewable sources in the short term. It has also partnered with the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) for the release of ‘Oceans’, a new direct to consumer, plastic-free toilet tissue. Jan. 2023: The Board of Accrol, the UK's leading independent tissue converter, is pleased to announce the outcomes of its strategic review, undertaken in 2022 with the support of Deloitte. However, Accrol is one of the largest businesses in Lancashire and has been expanding significantly over the last few years. We love to promote from within, therefore if you’re driven, determined and always put our customers first, then there are opportunities to progress through a structured grading framework.A direct-to-consumer business of scale, based around the Oceans brand, suppling a range of plastic-free household products; and With a variety of trends available in the range we’re making it easy for shoppers to express themselves and find something to suit their individual personality whilst doing their weekly shop – whether that’s someone who loves working with bright neon colours, a detailed organiser who prefers neutrals or something in-between.”

The turnaround was one of the most complex I have ever witnessed,” Accrol’s Commercial Director, Graham Cox declares. The Board's longstanding vision for Accrol has been to build a diversified group of size and scale, better positioned to manage external risks and to capture the growing opportunity within the private label household and personal hygiene market. As we enter 2023, we believe the Group has made considerable, and demonstrable, progress in delivering against this vision. A debt/EBITDA of close to 1 looks unambitious when net debt was 26.8m at Y/E and market expectations are for 20.1m by the end of FY24. If revenue is forecast to fall by 10% then working capital should also be falling 10% plus the higher profits.At the time when the current Board was constituted, Accrol faced multiple challenges, some of which had been self-inflicted. From the outset, the priority of the Board has been to: In the 2023 final results EBITDA market expectations for 2024 were raised from 19.5 to 20.5m. Two months later they have been raised again to "at least 21m" Investment has been significant but input costs have been the big drag on profits over the last 18 months. Some of the most extensive changes at Accrol were implemented in the manufacturing process. Over the last 12 months, large investments have been made in improving existing equipment, and more notably into the introduction of robotic technology and full automation of the company’s operations. It's likely that we have all seen Accrol's products in the likes of Tesco, Aldi, Morrisons, Bookers and Wilko's but you might be unfamiliar with the brand itself.
