Our firm

We partner with ambitious, entrepreneurial management teams to accelerate growth. Since setting up our own firm 25 years ago, we have built up the mid-market's most sizeable team of in-house experts as well as a diverse and far-reaching network which can help the businesses we back to grow faster.

About us

We were founded by John Hartz and Simon Turner in 1999 with a spirit of restless ambition which endures today.

Like the businesses we back, we have also grown. Today we provide capital from £25m–£500m for a minority or majority stake in high growth businesses across all sectors. With over 170+ professionals, we are proud to have one of the largest mid-market teams, meaning we can truly work closely with the businesses we back.

Having built Inflexion from scratch, we have great empathy with the businesses we invest in and support. Everyone here has an entrepreneurial eagerness to unpick things and explore new angles, to assess how we might improve what we do.

Simon Turner,

Managing Partner

We founded Inflexion in 1999, with a borrowed office, two desks, one computer and no capital. But with hard work and persistence we have grown this business to what it is today, building a like-minded team and delivering the best performing funds in Europe along the way.

John Hartz,

Managing Partner

We understand the motivation of management teams looking to grow, their passion and drive to build something unique. What ever their goals, we have the resources, expertise and networks to help achieve them.

Richard Swann,

Partner
