A celebration of success with Endless LLP
During September we held our quarterly networking event, this time jointly hosted by our Private Equity practice and leading mid market private equity investor, Endless llp. The event was held at the Cumberland Hotel in Central London and proved to be a very successful evening enjoyed by all. After introductions by Doug Baird, Managing Director, Mathew Deering and Del Huse from Endless provided an insight in to the type of deal they are currently looking at, their recent acquisition of Vasanta Group and the importance of experienced management and interim professionals within their portfolio.
"I'd like to thank everyone who managed to attend and also Endless for jointly hosting the evening. It was great to catch up with so many of the valued members of our network and to share a drink with so many new faces. It was a fantastic evening and I certainly look forward to the next one!" Interim Partners.
"It was a great evening and a very useful exercise in meeting many more like minded people involved in the private equity space, many of whom we hope to have a chance to work with going forward. As ever, we were pleased to work in conjunction with Interim Partners in hosting the event." Mathew Deering, Endless llp.
