My mindset was historically to not go down the private equity route, but BGF is not really like a typical private equity firm.​ It has a more ‘patient equity’ approach. I liked that. From the moment I started talking with BGF, I quickly began to realise​ that BGF’s approach was different – it would very much be​ an additional layer of support rather than any loss of control. ​
