KCP launches in London
Key Capital Partners (KCP), a Birmingham-based private equity firm, has expanded with the launch of an office in London.
The move takes KCP’s total number of locations to four, adding to its offices in Cambridge, Leeds and Birmingham.
The London office aims to provide KCP with greater access to the Thames Valley, Solent and Gatwick regions, as well as proximity to investors and the City.
KCP has marked its launch into London with the appointment of Gareth Evans as investment manager at the office. Evans joins from PwC’s transaction services team.
Founding KCP partner, Mike Fell, will oversee the firm’s London and Cambridge offices.
Fell said: “Since we launched KCP in 2007, we have made seven investments in exciting and high-growth businesses, while also significantly expanding our geographical coverage.
"This new office in London will help to strengthen our relationships with the business and professional community in the capital and support our goal to plug the funding gap for profitable, high growth businesses across the South East."
KCP was founded in 2007 to address a perceived ‘equity gap’, making investments of between £1m and £10m in profitable, growing UK companies.
