Business Partnership
Pemberstone has provided financing packages to a range of companies. Its stakes are structured in a variety of ways to suit the investment opportunity and the partners' aspirations.
Unlike many private equity providers we are not tied to an exit timetable. As a private business we can take as flexible a view as the business requires.
Pemberstone has investments in 11 businesses across a range of sectors, from technology to manufacturing, from software to leisure.
Maxim Industries
In 2005 Pemberstone made an investment in Maxim Industries, a logistics and outsourcing business which was then part of a privately owned group. Based In Lancashire but with a customer base across the UK and Europe, Maxim supplies manufacturing businesses with components sourced from its own Far East presence but supported by its own quality control and stock facilities to eliminate for its customers typical import difficulties. Since Pemberstone's investment, Maxim Industries has seen year on year growth in its business with turnover up 50% over the period.
Intellitect Water
The Pemberstone team first invested in Intellitect Water in April 2006 when its highly innovative water instrumentation technology was at prototype stage and the business required first round equity funding to embark on early stage production.
Pemberstone has worked closely with the executive team since then and has supported further funding rounds alongside Credit Suisse who provided institutional funding in December 2006. The next year saw finalisation of the technology and its product moving whilst the executive team and manufacturing capability was expanded and strengthened. The company is now penetrating its target markets in the UK and overseas water utility and service sectors.
Pemberstone has provided significant executive support to the business in its early years, such as legal and financial input including the provision of a finance function pending the company reaching the scale where it could establish its own.
