In the fourth part of The Investment Agenda – the BVCA campaign designed to demonstrate the impact of private equity and venture capital on the UK – we look at how our sector is backing companies which are exporting goods and services across the globe.

We have compiled a range of case studies which highlight how our members are building world-leading businesses. As successful international trade and investment relies on entrepreneurial, innovative and dynamic companies, the contribution of our sector is a crucial component in driving Britain’s economic growth.

Tim Hames, Director General of the BVCA, said:

“Increasing UK exports has been a key focus of economic policy since the financial crisis. Through its support of high-growth businesses and combined with ambitious expansion plans, private equity and venture capital is a key driver in international trade, ensuring Britain’s competitiveness in the global marketplace.”
