Amberjack
Backing the management team
In April 2019 we invested £17.6m in Amberjack to support a management buyout and accelerate the business’s growth strategy, which included providing capital to support investment in the software and technology propositions and to help the business explore complementary acquisitions to broaden its service offering.
