As a family business, we like BGF’s approach and its funding model which is focused on longer term, patient capital. We’re pleased​ to be its first investment in Northern Ireland, and we would suggest that given the large number of family-owned SMEs​ in Northern Ireland that other companies like ours should look​ to take advantage of opportunities such as this to create growth in this region.
