Montagu Private Equity

Montagu is a leading private equity investor in the European mid-market. Montagu backs management buyouts and growth companies, normally acting as the principal equity provider. Since our formation in 1968, we have invested in hundreds of companies, across many different industry sectors - manufacturing, transport, logistics, healthcare, waste management, business services, web-hosting services and many many more. Today we focus exclusively on management buyouts where we can back strong incumbent CEOs who want to acquire the business they run, usually from a corporate owner or a founder. We invest and work in partnership with a company's management team so that, together, we can maximise the value of our investment by unlocking a business' full potential. We like companies that are typically worth €100 million to €1 billion or above. We have a preference for businesses offering products or services that are differentiated and would otherwise be badly missed. We have investment executives based in five European offices and a fund of €2.5 billion to invest. So we have plenty of firepower and plenty of resource to deploy. A buyout can be a complex process. We know - we did our own in 2003. So we really do understand what's involved.
