- 2022 A Year In Review
Vespa Capital enjoyed an outstanding year in 2022 driven by strength in the portfolio, a host of new investments and development in the team.
Continuing the strategy to support niche B2B businesses in the UK lower-mid market, Vespa Capital completed six investments across its sector verticals in software (Lumi, Origo & Eserv), tech-enabled services (DTAG), life sciences (Cognite) and sustainability (Flag).
In addition, Vespa Capital backed the existing portfolio to complete six bolt-on acquisitions including supporting CHASE and Flag with the acquisitions of Medacy Ltd and ESG Communications respectively.
In April, Vespa Capital completed its move to modern offices on St James's Square creating a collaborative working environment for portfolio companies and investment team alike.
2022 also saw the hires of Luke Burton, Investment Director and Keelin O'Sullivan, Investment Manager to the investment team with both making substantial contributions to the new investments in Origo and latterly Eserv in December.
Nigel Hammond, Managing Partner said, "2022 has been a thoroughly successful year for Vespa Capital in which we completed six new platform investments, continued to grow the team and completed our office move to St James’s Square.
Our portfolio is now 12-strong and we are excited about supporting their growth initiatives in 2023 and beyond. We are also delighted to be releasing our inaugural ESG report in the coming months".
