We see private equity as a force for good. A positivity born of generating returns in the right way. We strive for sustainable growth by building on solid foundations with a commitment to the environment and society. We work with our partners, on an equal footing, towards the same goal. Together, we shape businesses that prosper, even after our stewardship. 

Our approach to investing is underpinned by three key pillars, relationships, value enhancement and sustainability. We seek to partner with management teams across business services, financial services, health and education and technology sectors. 

Headquartered in Manchester, with offices in London and Birmingham, we have two funds, Buyout Fund which invests between £10m and £50m and an Impact Fund which invests between £5m and £20m.

We are in the decisive decade for tackling climate change, and the years until 2030 will be make or break in achieving climate stability. All businesses have a role to play in moving the UK towards a low-carbon future, and we are committed to supporting the transition and reducing our emissions.

Last year, we exited Veincentre, the UK’s leading clinic specialising in state-of-the-art treatment for varicose veins.

When we met the team in 2019, we were excited by the opportunity to roll out new clinics across the UK, and we were impressed by the management team’s reputation in the market and its focus on quality of care.

We exited the business after three years, with a revenue increase of 180% throughout the investment. We did this by opening 15 new clinics, enhancing and professionalising the digital marketing strategy and investing in the team.

“I am very grateful for the support offered by Palatine and very proud of what the team has achieved over the last four years, helping more people get successful treatment for their varicose veins. Our strategy has been to grow our clinic base to make our services more accessible whilst maintaining our high levels of clinical excellence and raising our profile through enhanced marketing campaigns.” Maurice McLoughlin, CEO of Veincentre
