About us At CBPE, we invest in businesses in the UK mid-market with an Enterprise Value of up to £150m, to help realise their growth ambitions. We work best with businesses where we know we can truly add value. We work hard to get to the heart of a business. We back the right people to do the right thing. We enjoy our relationships. We challenge and we welcome challenge. We’re analytical but we also know that success doesn’t always follow a spreadsheet. We add value, not a straightjacket. We take our work seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We listen, we keep our promises and we always do our homework. Inspiring businesses to go further, also makes for more inspired investments. It’s a virtuous circle. Strong foundations We were established in 1984 and have been an active private equity investor for over 30 years. We used to operate as Close Brothers Private Equity under our former parent, Close Brothers Group, but have been independent since completing our own management buyout in 2008. Our current fund, CBPE Capital X, closed on capital commitments of £561 million in November 2020. Responsible investing We believe in good investing. That doesn’t just mean smart strategies and fact checking. It means acting responsibly and taking environmental, social and governance responsibilities seriously. From crucial business decisions to day-to-day life, we build this into every aspect of our approach. Our investors The CBPE team invests in all CBPE funds.
