Business Services / Our track record in investing in Business Services is well-founded. We look for opportunities to invest in a range of businesses from public and private sector facilities management, to engineering consultancies, testing, waste management and recycling groups and printing and packaging companies with strong intellectual property and scope for a significant service element.

We back management teams pursuing either a clear Buy and Build or consolidation strategy. We are particularly attracted to companies with the scope to broaden their offering and customer base to become leading multi-service providers.

Our current investments in this area include the IT services company, 2e2, and the specialist pensions group Xafinity, both are examples of this approach.

"Getting to know the Duke Street team in advance of the transaction meant that we had a strong and established relationship and were ready to move ahead quickly with our growth strategy. As we’ve grown – both organically and through strategic acquisitions – I’ve been able to count on the strong support of people at every level within Duke Street."
