Our objective is to team up with exceptional management and, together, build market-leading companies.
We invest in mid-market UK business and consumer services businesses with the potential to develop into substantial companies over the medium term. Our experience, derived from investing in more than 40 such companies, means that we can be a valuable partner in implementing growth strategies.
Firstly, we identify good platform companies through rigorous research and market mapping, as well as working closely with senior executives within that particular sector. On acquisition, we implement a pre-determined business plan to invest in the systems, technology, operational infrastructure and management organisation that enable rapid growth.
Soon after the acquisition, and in close collaboration with senior management, we begin to implement the pipeline of add-on acquisitions and implementation strategies identified at the outset. We can add considerable value by drawing on our extensive experience of sourcing, executing and financing attractive add-on acquisitions.
"Lyceum's experience of completing M & A deals has been a great help to us when buying Eastwood Homes and Intercare. We are constantly scanning the market for opportunities and know that we are now perfectly structured to undertake those."
