The Beech Tree Team

Why Beech Tree?

We are expert private equity investors with a passion for promoting growth through partnership, a dynamic proactive approach and specialist knowledge of your sector.

Why us?

You want an ambitious partner to help your business accelerate its growth.

There are plenty of private equity firms, but how do you choose the right one? We do private equity differently.

We are easy and enjoyable to work with

At Beech Tree we pride ourselves on being straightforward, so we speak plainly from the start. We have no ego and operate as a true partner with the management teams that we back. We love building fantastic businesses and want the experience to be enjoyable and rewarding for all involved.

We are sector specialists

We combine our finance expertise with specialist knowledge of the technology, financial services and tech-enabled services sectors. This means we can talk your language and cut straight to the chase; understanding your business and market to finesse an investment strategy that works the way you work.

We are very ambitious

For every business we invest in, our primary focus is to unlock its full potential by increasing the velocity of growth. From the outset we ensure our ambitions are aligned with yours by setting a focused growth strategy. The goal for all of our investments is simple - we aim to create category leading businesses.

We share your values

We treat people the same way we expect to be treated ourselves and we consider your values to be as important as your business plan. That's why we say we'll create value in line with your values. Success doesn't have to mean compromising on the principles that matter.

We are true partners, not observers

Our involvement at board level isn’t just about monitoring performance. We consider ourselves part of the team, and we bring years of experience to the table when tackling the issues of a fast growing business. Our role is to bring focus to these discussions, to make the right calls and get the strategy of your business honed for success.

We have a proud record of investment success

Our team has a proven track record of delivering consistently high returns for world-leading investors. The strong growth across our portfolio evidences the success of our Value Creation Toolkit and investment strategies.

Helping create value is at the heart of our Investment Strategy

We want to make a difference to the companies we invest in. Building value is at the heart of everything we do. We are an active and supportive investor – utilising our proven Value Creation Toolkit alongside our experience to help our management teams deliver ambitious growth plans.

Sales & Marketing

From the outset we look to invest in the sales and marketing functions through a ‘results driven’ methodology. Building sales momentum and illustrating strong organic growth on exit is key to maximising value.

Product & Service Extension

We have significant experience in accelerating product development. Launching a new range of features or services will often enhance the business proposition creating value arbitrage.

Automation & Efficiency

We help our businesses to scale efficiently by automating services and workflows, typically through the use of the latest technology – allowing them to grow exponentially without the need for significant growth in overheads.

International Expansion

Where there is an opportunity and it's right for the business to pursue international growth, we help our management teams to choose the right markets, identify overseas acquisitions and create the right team to deliver this strategy.

Buy & Build

We have significant experience the execution of buy and build strategies. We help teams identify, negotiate, fund and integrate acquisitions – it’s a key part of our experience and our business.

Exit & Planning Strategy

We have years of experience in understanding the value drivers of a business. We start with a simple question – what do we all want the business to look like in 3-5 years’ time?
