We are delighted to share that our successful exit from Perspective Financial Group Ltd won the ‘Mid-Market Exit of the Year' award at the Mergermarket British Private Equity Awards 2024. In May 2024, we sold Perspective to the US private equity firm Charlesbank Capital Partners, achieving a 5.4x MoC for our investors. During our hold, the business more than quadrupled its EBITDA from £5 million to £22 million at exit, while also making >50 acquisitions. Throughout this period, Perspective maintained its client-centric culture and high advisory standards, distinguishing itself in the industry. A huge thank you to everyone involved, but in particular to the team at Perspective, namely Ian Wilkinson, Julie Hepworth, David Hesketh and Sam Ward. #cbpe Richard Thompson Harry Hewlett Rachel Milton Houlihan Lokey Christian Kent Ares Management Corporation William Grout

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our inaugural 'People & Performance' day at the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club stadium last week. We brought together members from our portfolio companies for a fantastic day filled with insightful presentations and discussions on how to unlock peak performance in teams. Highlights included presentations from: - Ben Hunt-Davis MBE, Olympic Gold medal winner and founder of Will It Make The Boat Go Faster? - Professor Steve Peters, renowned performance coach and author of The Chimp Paradox (Chimp Management Ltd). A special thank you also goes to our CEO panel members: Simon Grosse (FSP), Lee Brook (BKL) and Paul Roberts (Blatchford) for sharing their experiences and views on getting the best out of people and teams. The day wrapped up with an unforgettable experience - the Skywalk on the iconic Spurs stadium roof, followed by a 'Tom Cruise inspired' abseil down which raised £5,000 for ReachOut, the amazing youth mentoring and education charity.

Yesterday we celebrated the wonderful Jan, who is retiring after working more than 24 years in our building. In 2017, we managed to steal her from the downstairs reception, and since then Jan has been the warm, welcoming face of our reception, greeting every guest with a smile and making the best cups of coffee. Jan, your dedication, kindness, hugs, and support will be deeply missed. Thank you for everything! Wishing you all the best in your retirement!
