Mid-market
We invest between £50 million and £250 million in UK and international companies.
Typically we buy control positions, and typically we buy businesses with an enterprise value of between £75 million and £750 million.
Complexity
We have deep expertise in working through complex situations.
Separating a business from its corporate parent, reconciling multiple stakeholders' conflicting priorities to deliver a consensual outcome, developing our own insight and strategy to reinvigorate a business that has lost its way, restructuring the bad balance sheet of a good company, designing solutions to knotty problems... these are challenges we relish and where we can draw upon a wealth of experience.
Transformation
We seek to transform the businesses we invest in.
We do this by focusing on a manageable number of key priorities to which we bring clarity, ambition and pace. This is at the heart of our track record of building businesses that are larger, higher-quality and higher-growth.
Partnership
We build strong partnerships with exceptional management teams.
We bring analytical rigour, capital and expertise in areas such as M&A and financing. We bring energy, ambition and vision. We bring our experience of implementing transformative strategies across sectors and cycles, of growing and reshaping businesses. We bring deep domain expertise through our pool of functional and sector experts.
We want to partner with management teams who share our ambition and who bring the leadership and execution skills to deliver it. Together, we set a clear strategy and align our interests through both shared goals and economic incentives.
WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAYSustainability
We believe that businesses can be successful over the long term only if they integrate the management of environmental, social and governance factors into their business strategy.
We therefore work closely with the companies we invest in to build sustainability as a value-creating component of their transformation plan.
