WestBridge in the press

Pete Barkley has been centre stage in the media recently, talking about our approach to value creation and providing fascinating insights into our investment journey with APEM Group, which we recently exited.

Michael Taylor, editor of TheBusinessDesk.com, sat down with him and quizzed him about his career, our approach to value creation and how WestBridge has evolved and established itself firmly as a leader in the lower mid-market. 

He also provides a fascinating insight into our investment journey with environmental consultancy APEM Group and how we achieved an 11.5x return when we exited earlier this year. Read the full article here.

Pete also features in this filmed interview with Private Equity Wire, as part of its ‘Stories of Transformation’ series, talking exclusively about our relationship with APEM.
