Foresight Group, a regional private equity and infrastructure investment manager, has opened a new office in Exeter, appointing Jamie Pelmear as Investment Associate.
Pelmear joins the Private Equity team and will support the deployment and management of the Foresight South West Fund, which recently reached a second close at £100m following investment from Devon Pension Fund and Avon Pension Fund.
The Fund is dedicated to supporting the growth of SMEs across South West England, including Avon, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Somerset, and Wiltshire.
Pelmear brings experience in working with growing businesses across the region. He has been part of the local Exeter business community for more than ten years and will work closely with the wider team to identify and support promising companies with long-term growth potential.
The Exeter office marks the next step in Foresight’s commitment to building a strong local presence across the South West, following the opening of its Bristol office and other recent appointments to the local team.
