Our success in developing lifelong partnerships is evidenced by the quality of relationships we have built and maintained, with founders and their wider teams, as well as through the group of long-standing global blue-chip investors who have entrusted us to invest and manage their capital since 2007.
We Are Innovative
We are an innovative growth investor providing bespoke solutions for shareholders and management teams through buy-outs, buy-ins, and crystallisation events in both majority and minority transactions. We typically invest between £15m and £150m into companies valued between £20m and £250m in the UK, Ireland and continental Europe.
