Award success

We are thrilled to have taken home the Buy & Build Value Creation Award at the Actum Group Private Equity Value Creation Awards 2026 for our work with environmental consultancy, APEM Group.

Now in their fourth year, the awards ceremony was held at the National Gallery and attracted over 300 guests, including LPs, GPs, advisers and management teams.
 
WestBridge was recognised for our work with environmental consultancy, APEM Group.
 
Since investing in March 2019, we have worked closely with the management team to deploy our value creation model and hit many key milestones. These include:

• Completing nine strategic acquisitions
• Cementing APEM’s position in the Australian and Asia Pacific market
• Increasing headcount to over 900 people across 27 global locations
• Establishing a strong base in the US
• Securing healthy organic growth
• Introducing a wider service offering

APEM is now acknowledged as a global leader in its field, an achievement that undoubtedly helped us deliver an 11.5x return when we exited earlier this year.
