“We’re thrilled to have Livingbridge, one of the UK’s leading mid-market private equity investors, as our partner. They have shown huge passion for our business model, and align with our belief that businesses play a critical role in creating a positive impact. They have a track record, as one of the UK’s leading mid-market private equity investors, of supporting growing companies and we are excited to work with them to maximise our potential.” – Graham Bell (CEO)
