Building value in growing businesses – one month to go until our Rainmakers conference
The initial deal is the start of the journey, as investors and management teams look to build value together.
Driving profitable growth alongside buy-and-build and M&A activity, allied with adding long-term value through ESG measures, will ensure businesses stay on the fast track to success.
Those are the key questions we’ll be discussing with an experienced panel at our 2025 Rainmakers conference.
The Road to Value session will feature invaluable insights from Steve Dolton who sold NRG Group (a Palatine investment which exited in September 2024). Currently he is also Chairman of The Translation People (a Mobeus backed investment), TMDS (a print services business) and is a board advisor to Ellipse (a sports analytics business).
Steve’s sector experience spans support services, sport, legal and IT with a focus on M&A, team development and business improvements. His business experience has resulted in 8 succesful exits and 2 AIM flotations.
Gary Tipper group managing partner of Palatine will also join the panel to relay his thirty years’ experience in private equity, describing how he has been instrumental in helping many management teams execute their business plan successfully.
Ruth Percival, CEO of Contollo Group
