Beech Tree Private Equity (“BTPE”) today announces the launch of its first fund, backed by leading institutional investors.

Commenting on the launch of Beech Tree Private Equity’s first independent fund, Paul Franks, Managing Partner of Beech Tree Private Equity said” We have set up Beech Tree Private Equity as we wanted to create a really fresh approach to the private equity market. With Andy and I now in control of our own business we can move just as fast as the businesses that we back. There is space for a truly entrepreneurial private equity investor in this part of the market.

We are delighted to have the support of two well respected investors in our first fund. We will focus all our efforts on companies with an enterprise value between £10 and £75 million where the management team want to partner with an energetic entrepreneurial owner-managed private equity provider.”

Andy Marsh, Managing Partner of Beech Tree Private Equity commented “Beech Tree is all about backing high growth companies in specific sectors where we can see real growth, or where we spot a business with a disruptive business model that can change the shape of a market.

Both Paul and I have a track record of repeatedly developing good businesses into exceptional businesses alongside the management teams we back, it’s this aspect of what we do that we enjoy the most.”

Beech Tree Private Equity will now commence the investment of the Fund.
