We’re proud to share that Beth Houghton, Partner and Head of the Impact Fund at Palatine, has been appointed to the Council of the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA). Beth said: “I’m excited and honored to be joining the BVCA Council. Palatine has long been an active supporter of the BVCA, and I’ve had the privilege of serving on its Responsible Investment Committee for more than five years. “This is an important moment for our industry to demonstrate the positive role private equity plays in driving growth across the UK economy. I’m particularly passionate about representing both Impact investing and the regions. Too often private equity is seen as concentrated in London and the South East, but the reality is very different. Across the North and beyond, there are outstanding entrepreneurial businesses that deserve recognition and support. “As leaders in private equity, we have a responsibility to raise the profile of our industry, and to showcase the jobs, wealth creation and societal impact that responsible investment can deliver.” Congratulations Beth, this appointment reflects both your dedication to advancing responsible investing and the impact-driven ethos we hold at Palatine.
