Founded in 1982 and led by CEO Dai Powell, social enterprise HCT Group is now the UK’s ninth-largest operator, running 732 vehicles from 13 depots.

Big Issue Invest – the social investment arm of The Big Issue magazine – led the round, which consists of a refinance of legacy debt and an injection of new capital.

It is the largest fundraising by a UK social enterprise so far in 2018.

City Bridge Trust, Esmée Fairbairn, HSBC, MFS, Phone Co-op, Social and Sustainable Capital, TriplePoint and four high-net-worth individuals from the ClearlySo network – an impact investment bank – also participated.
