The leading European Private Equity alliance

THE LEADING EUROPEAN PRIVATE EQUITY ALLIANCE​

Optimum Alliance

Largest cross-invested network of high performing SME Investors in Europe

  • Covering key European PE markets with more to come
  • Cross-investment ensuring sincere attitude of real value creation

Accelerating European rollouts.

Facilitating privileged access to scarce resources in deal sourcing and transactional services.

Exclusive membership of proven outperformers.

Three high-performing European lower mid-market private equity firms have decided to create a new Private Equity alliance.

The objective of the Alliance is to create a platform of independent – high performing – firms that can share best-practises, investment experiences, cooperate on deal situations as and when appropriate and allow co-investment. To strengthen the Alliance the senior partners of the various firms will commit capital to each-others deals and / or funds. As we strengthen our cooperation, we will look to gradually expand the Optimum Alliance with relevant new members – that do not compete with any of the existing members – and share our focus on performance and our market segments.

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.
