About 

Inflexion led the carve-out of roofing specialist Marley before nearly doubling EBITDA and supporting its ESG journey. The business was sold to FTSE 250 Marshalls plc, generating 3.5x money. 

Marley is the UK leading manufacturer and supplier of roofing system products, including concrete and clay tiles as well as associated roofing accessories employing 500 people across five manufacturing sites and two distribution centres.   

Value acceleration 

Inflexion used its extensive industry experience with builders merchants Huws Gray to successfully drive growth for Marley. During Inflexion’s stewardship, Marley was established as an independent business, with Inflexion driving the transition to a standalone IT system, building out the talent, and driving EBITDA by optimising Marley’s commercial strategy and supporting investment into a new tile line.  

Inflexion enhanced Marley’s ESG credentials, with carbon emissions intensity significantly reduced, 100% of production waste recycled and all manufacturing energy sourced from renewable sources. We supported Marley’s entry into solar panels with the acquisition of Viridian Solar.
