Ardian provides financing to support Tiger Infrastructure Partners’ investment in Orbis Protect

Ardian, a global private investment firm, has committed to provide Private Credit financing, comprising a Unitranche and Committed Acquisition Facilities, to support Tiger Infrastructure Partners’ investment in Orbis Protect, a leading UK provider of technology enabled security solutions for critical assets and vacant property. The transaction builds on Ardian’s long standing relationship with Orbis Protect, which began in 2021. Since then, Ardian has supported the business through a period of growth and operational development and continues to partner with management as Orbis enters its next phase of expansion.

These solutions are rapidly deployed to customer locations to deliver temporary and semi permanent site security under contracted arrangements across the UK.

The transaction highlights our ability to scale and support businesses through multiple growth cycles, and we look forward to being part of Orbis’ next chapter." Stuart Hawkins, Head of Private Credit UK and Managing Director Private Credit, Ardian
