INVESTING IN MID-SIZED COMPANIES WITH SIGNIFICANT GROWTH OR PROFIT IMPROVEMENT POTENTIAL​

Strategy

We focus on companies that generate between £20 and £500 million or €25 and €550 million in annual revenues and that can benefit from our hands-on support.

We cover a wide spectrum of potential investments ranging from corporate carve-outs, growth capital, retirement sale, buy & build and special situations.

H2 is a flexible investor and is able to structure transactions creatively; via equity or debt; as a share transaction or an asset deal. Transactions range from outright acquisitions to large minority stakes teaming up with incumbent shareholders to help maximise value for all involved. Our investment holding period varies – but we are happy to be invested over a longer period of time compared to traditional private equity companies.

Our team of investment professionals consist of high quality and high energy people with extensive experience in top tier consulting or management, most in both. This allows H2 to conduct most of the operational or commercial due diligence in-house and deliver transactions quickly and decisively.

In all cases we offer pro-active support to the management of our portfolio companies – but without becoming involved in the day-to-day running of the business.

The Amberon Group is a market leading traffic management provider to the utilities and Local Authority markets. Amberon was established in May 2002 with our first depot in Paignton, South West England. Our founding core principles remain at the heart of everything that we do and our continued desire to achieve our purpose; to provide the best service in the Traffic Management sector. This has been the foundation for our success and has cemented our position as the market leader in TM.

During the initial transaction we never felt under any pressure & instantly recognised we would become part of the family. H2 took the time to listen to our views & business strategy, it was obvious from the very beginning that they would be the perfect partner for us.

The guys at H2 have enabled us to continue the momentum & have provided the expertise & knowledge to help us continue on the journey to constantly improve our service offering.

Working with H2 during the last 2 years has given us additional support not just financially but the advice & expertise has helped analytically & strategically.

The ambition and the drive H2 have is extremely infectious & continues to assist the group to overachieve.

It’s enormously reassuring to know H2 will always be at the end of the phone to offer advice but heartening to know they have the trust in us to deliver.
