Approach —
Building lasting value through collaborative partnerships
We specialize in primary and majority leveraged buyouts (LBOs), focusing on SMEs and mid-cap companies with enterprise values between £25 million and £215 million. Our approach is grounded in long-term partnerships with leadership teams, working side by side to identify and unlock key growth opportunities. This shared vision fosters alignment and trust, enabling us to support companies as they scale and evolve.
Investment Philosophy
—
Unlocking growth through deep customer insight
We believe meaningful value is created through a clear understanding of customer behaviour. By conducting in-depth, data-driven analyses, we help businesses refine their commercial strategies to better meet customer expectations. In our experience, customer insight is often underleveraged among UK SMEs and mid-sized firms, and we see this as a major opportunity for growth and differentiation.
