For a growing private company seeking introductions to potential board members, investors, customers or simply people who have faced and overcome similar challenges, access to our network can be an extremely valuable part of its international expansion. We have organised and hosted events focused on the demands of being a public company. For example, in spring 2025, we hosted a three-day forum in Scotland titled ‘The Growth CFO’ for around 30 CFOs from both private and public companies. We also introduce private portfolio companies to our public equities teams as potential future shareholders on the public markets. This connection can be valuable to the company over the long term.
