The BVCA was delighted to see that 42 companies in The Sunday Times Deloitte "Top Track 100 British private companies with the biggest sales" are majority-owned by private investment houses.
These private equity and venture capital-backed companies featured in the list operate in a wide range of industries across the UK: from food production to electricty utility, motor racing administration to private hospital operation. The high percentage of private equity and venture capital backed companies in this list demonstrates the quality of the investment and guidance that the industry can offer UK business across all sectors and sizes.
Topping the list was Alliance Boots, the pharmaceutical retailer and wholesaler backed by global asset manager KKR since April 2007. Stefano Pessina, executive chairman of Alliance Boots will speak at the BVCA Summit 2010 in London on 11 November 2010. Book your place to hear from this business leader at www.bvcasummit.com.
