Above all, we believe in building true partnerships based on mutual respect.
The values that define who we are
We leverage many years of experience, bringing deep knowledge and expertise to support management teams to achieve remarkable success and in turn deliver significant growth for our investors.
Partnering with CBPE
We bring ideas and provide hands-on support to drive success. We work with inspiring businesses and help them achieve their potential.
Our consistent track record speaks for itself. However, in a sector of similar sounding promises, it’s our approach that defines us. This means drawing on everything we’ve learnt from supporting almost 60 different companies across five funds since 2000. How we work with our businesses depends on their circumstances, challenges and opportunities, as well as thier ambitions. Whatever your growth ambitions are, we have the people, the expertise and the experience to help.
