We pride ourselves on being different. The following unique mix of demonstrable investment attributes sets us apart from other private equity houses and investors:
1. Track record in delivering successful turnarounds
Turnarounds can only be judged by results. We are proud of our strong and very current track record. In the last two years we have sold Davy Markham, Amco, Crown Paints and Excelsyn after delivering successful turnarounds in each of these investments. The latter two companies were recognised as Turnarounds of the Year by the prestigious Institute for Turnaround in 2010.
2. Committed capital
Endless has in excess of £220 million of committed capital to invest immediately avoiding the need to raise capital on a deal by deal basis.
3. Speed of deal execution
We have led the market over the last five years in executing deals in a matter of weeks from the initial introduction to an opportunity. In house due diligence and streamlined decision making allows Endless to invest very quickly giving invaluable assurance to advisors, banks and vendors.
4. Operational expertise and portfolio management
We are a ‘hands-on’ investor bringing experience and knowledge to our portfolio boards. We actively manage a network of successful entrepreneurs and operational managers who can partner with us to drive through operational change if required.
5. Innovative deal structures
Turnaround situations are never straightforward and often require innovative structural solutions as well as operational expertise. Our team is made up a blend of advisors, bankers and investors which allows Endless to approach each opportunity in a creative way. Our investment in Liberata in 2010 by way of example re-wrote the rules for solvently dealing with pension deficits in restructurings.
6. Integrity
We take pride in acting with fairness and the utmost integrity. Combined with our straight-talking approach, we have a passion for consistently delivering on our promises..
