Konvoy Kegs taps FTI Consulting as lender pulls the plug

Sydney’s Konvoy Kegs, a 5½-year-old company that rents kegs to brewers and is backed by the likes of Ellerston Capital and Five V, has tapped FTI Consulting amid a dispute with one of its financiers.

Street Talk can reveal Konvoy Kegs called in FTI overnight, after private debt player AquAsia reneged on a previously agreed upon drawdown the start-up had requested last week amid a cash crunch.
