FPE Capital (FPE), a growth private equity investor in UK lower mid-market companies, has appointed Chris Kay as Investment Manager.
Kay joins FPE Capital from PwC, where he was a member of the firm’s global TMT Advisory team. Kay is a fully qualified ACCA and is a graduate of Durham University where he graduated with a Frist Class degree in Modern Languages.
The appointment marks a further step in the development of the FPE Capital investment team as it continues its focus on the lower end of the UK mid-market. Kay will be responsible for the sourcing and execution of investment opportunities in the UK lower mid-market.
Recent investments made by FPE Capital from its Fund II include Questionmark, a disruptive provider of assessment, proctoring and certification SaaS software for public and private sector organisations and MasstechSGL, where FPE merged two existing businesses to create an industry leading provider of mission critical middleware for the management of both storage and playout of broadcast media.
David Barbour, Managing Partner at FPE Capital, says: “Chris has extensive transaction experience in the UK lower mid-market and a strong commitment to growth capital. His recruitment marks another important development in the FPE team on the back of our recent successful fundraising and spin out.”
