Our Team

While most of the capital committed to our investments is provided by institutional investors, Cairngorm’s senior staff also invest in every transaction. We believe that this personal investment strengthens our commitment to the success of each company and ensures that our interests are completely aligned with those of our management partners.

Our Operating Partners are available to our portfolio company management teams to provide their deep, specialist expertise in supporting major strategic change initiatives in leadership development, supply chains, operations, financial management and digitalisation.
