H2 Equity Partners closes H2 Equity Partners Fund VI at £300 million and appoints Richard Dew and Cathal Turley to partner

H2 Equity Partners (“H2”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the fundraise process of H2 Equity Partners Fund VI, a new £300 million private equity fund. The first and final close was held on October 12th after a swift and efficient fundraise process that saw huge demand from existing investors that continue to support H2’s investment strategy. The H2 team is the single largest investor in the fund creating very strong alignment with our institutional investor base.

H2 Equity Partners is also pleased to announce the promotion to Partner of Richard Dew and Cathal Turley on the back of their performance and role in recent years. Both Richard and Cathal have been key members of the H2 team for many years now and have leading roles to continue to build and expand the H2 franchise.

The Firm’s investment strategy remains unchanged. It will continue its focus on three main types of transactions:

  • Corporate carve-outs
  • Growth & profit improvements (incl. Buy & Build)
  • Special situations

H2 Equity Partners has a differentiated approach, considering itself “Entrepreneurs with Capital”. The Firm is used to working closely with management and other stakeholders to deliver results in sometimes complicated situations.

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.
