Team
We are seven investment professionals with over 150 years of experience of private equity investing and an average of over 29 years in financial services. We can react quickly to opportunities and to execute complex transactions. This gives our private equity funds an advantage in the UK smaller-company space, where company managers and vendors often favour potential acquirers who are decisive, straightforward, experienced and fast moving.
Our six operational advisers bring wide-ranging skills and expertise to the investment process. They have broad experience across a variety of sectors, including industrial, engineering, biomedical, financial services, manufacturing, leisure, information technology services and life sciences. They individually advise the team and assist in sourcing, evaluating and monitoring investments. They provide input on an extensive range of issues, including the establishment of business plans and strategic agendas, management changes and exit opportunities.
