PE/VC investors
Private Equity (PE) and Venture Capital (VC) investors are the catalysts of innovation and growth in the business world. PE firms primarily target established companies, seeking to optimize operations and unlock value through strategic investments and management expertise. They focus on long-term growth and profitability, often preparing businesses for a future sale or IPO. VC investors, by contrast, are the adventurers of finance, injecting capital into high-potential startups and early-stage companies. They embrace risk for the possibility of outsized returns, often becoming invaluable advisors. Both investor types not only bring capital but also strategic guidance, industry connections, and market insights, propelling their portfolio companies towards success.

We operate as an active hands-on board with the aim of developing, both operationally and strategically, the businesses that we acquire, subsequently finding a long term home for those that we sell.

Our interest is to acquire companies or portfolios with an enterprise value in the range of £10m-£300m. We are comfortable if the constituent companies of a portfolio have no strategic fit together, or if they are geographically widely spread around the world.
