A dedicated focus

Since Candover's first deal in 1980 private equity has transformed from a niche investment to a mainstream asset class: we have been at the centre of that transformation. What hasn't changed is our focus on discovering unique opportunities and high quality management teams across Europe.

European specialists

With offices in London, Madrid, Milan  and Paris we are in touch with business leaders in every European market. We have invested in eleven countries across Europe.

Backing winning management

We specialise in finding and backing management with the vision and experience to deliver outstanding growth. We form long-standing relationships with proven management teams.

The Candover factor

We've earned a reputation for identifying opportunities that other investors overlook. A typical Candover deal is large, complicated and demands imagination and experience to spot and seize the opportunity.
