Clive has worked in the private equity industry since 1995, making investments including TeleCity and Kerridge Commercial Systems.

He has been working in the VCT industry since 2008 with previous experience including running his own business and as a Director of NVM Private Equity, Catapult Venture Managers and 3i plc.

I’ve always considered what I do as a great privilege. Not only is it great fun, it’s also fascinating and the stakes are high.  We get involved with a wide variety of interesting businesses and people at critical points in their development with potentially life changing consequences – what job could be better than that?

Having specialised in portfolio management, Clive has acted as non-executive director and Chairman of a wide range of private equity backed businesses such as Virgin Wines, Entanet and Equip Outdoor Technologies. He holds a BSc (Hons) in Applied Physics & Electronics, a DipM from the Chartered Institute of Marketing, and an MBA.

Outside of work Clive can either be found competing in single seater racing cars, tinkering with classic cars or running / cycling around his native Teme Valley in Worcestershire.
