Notable quotes
“We are delighted to support John and the management team in the next stage of growth of Bullet. Building on the strong platform developed by the founders, the business is poised to continue its growth both organically and through acquisitions. It represents exactly the type of business we are looking to back via Fund 3 – regional, profitable, ambitious businesses looking to move to the next stage in their evolution.”
“It has been a pleasure to work with Andrew Blain and the wider team at Photonics who have done everything they said they would do, doubling sales and profits over the last few years despite a challenging environment for research institutions. We look forward to staying in touch with them as they build the business further under full employee ownership.”
