About us / In an industry which is sometimes seen as being rather faceless, Duke Street is distinctly different. We have a style all of our own. You can see it in our passion for accelerating the growth of the companies we back; the relationships we have with our management teams; in our unique mix of Investment and Operating Partners and in the results we have achieved. Above all else we’re known for being open and straightforward. It’s this approach that has underpinned our success over the last 20 years.

We are at the forefront of moves to make our industry more transparent and accountable, as recommended in the Walker Report in 2007. Although the Walker recommendations were aimed at much larger Private Equity companies than Duke Street, we’ve taken on board it's recommendations – for instance publishing an annual report and publicising details of our performance.
