Enterprise Ventures sets up Liverpool office

FUND manager Enterprise Ventures is stepping up its operation in Merseyside with the opening of a new Liverpool office.
 
The company has moved into a 2,150 sq ft suite at the Princes Dock development at Liverpool Waters.

The Liverpool office will house managers from The North West Fund for Venture Capital and The North West Fund for Mezzanine, as well as providing a base for its technology and growth investment teams.
 
Jonathan Diggines, chief executive of Enterprise Ventures said: “Enterprise Ventures has been successfully operating in Merseyside for many years but with the launch of our new office, we are looking forward to stepping up our involvement with local businesses and the adviser community.

“We are seeking opportunities to fund new businesses, in particular ‘management break-outs’ – experienced managers who are setting up their own operation – and also established high-growth businesses which need more funding than their bank can provide.”
 
Enterprise Ventures’ existing investments in Merseyside include Biofortuna, Chargepoint, Blue Prism, Transglobal and JobsTheWord.
 
Diggines added: “In the last few years we have invested over £10m across 25 companies in Merseyside. We are keen to provide more local businesses with the funding they need to generate growth, prosperity and jobs.”
