VCTs: In conversation with Dr Paul Mattick
Mercia’s Northern Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) have unveiled a new share offer of up to £60m to pursue new investment opportunities and provide scale-up funding for existing portfolio companies.
he fundraise - which consists of a £42 million share offer divided equally between three VCTs, with an £18m over-allotment option - builds upon Mercia’s proven track record and follows a series of successful exits.
The three VCTs are among the longest-standing in the industry and have combined net assets of £343 million across a diversified portfolio of over 50 companies, with exposure across different sectors and regions.
Over the past 18 months, the Northern VCTs have exited from eight portfolio companies. Highlights include Glasgow-based health and safety platform Evotix; London-based multi-channel advertising company Lineup Systems; Nottingham risk management software specialist Ideagen; Boclips, and education platform based in Greater Manchester; and Manchester-based IT consultancy Intechnica.
In this interview with Intelligent Partnership, we sat down to talk with Dr Paul Mattick, Head of Sales and Private Investor Relations of Mercia, to gather his insights on the wider market and to hear more about what the Northern VCTs have to offer.
