Investment thesis
Inspirit Capital deploys capital through a committed-capital pool (specific fund structure not publicly disclosed), targeting UK and Ireland corporate carve-outs by acquiring divisions divested by large corporates with enterprise values up to £100 million and an operational turnaround focus. Sector focus spans IT services, business and human capital services, education and training, offshore wind and marine services and contact centre and BPO. Geographic deployment is UK and Ireland (headquarters-based businesses). The platform reinvigorates divested units as standalone entrepreneurial businesses.
