Backing ambition
This is an unprecedented time which is bringing enormous challenges.
Everyone everywhere is adjusting to a new way of living and working. There has been an acute focus on navigating the immediate term, but our experience of other crises has taught us that most will indeed come out the other side, and many will do so stronger. These will be the ones who adjust agilely to the new backdrop whilst creating a plan back to sustainable growth and considering new opportunities that may arise.
We are here to provide support. We have had the privilege of partnering with over 80 companies to accelerate their growth over the last two decades. While the current situation is unique, we have experience and proven growth levers we can bring to bear spanning multiple economic cycles and with a wide range of businesses. And we remain well capitalised to do so, having raised £3.25 billion of committed capital over the last two years to invest into ambitious businesses.
Connecting ambition with capital and experience can greatly support a company at all times.
