Forthbridge Ventures was founded with the aim of acquiring, operating and growing a UK SME
We offer retiring owners an exit opportunity by bringing continuity, leadership and renewed purpose to their businesses
We aim to operate over a long time horizon with growth and value creation being prime considerations and are not driven by short term exit imperatives

After beginning his career as a strategy consultant at EY-Parthenon, he helped launch new services for Royal Mail, lead operations for a tech startup and had a stint in the value creation team of a technology investor
