About Us
Plumtree was founded in 2021 as a private investment fund and management consultancy by CEO, Barnaby Kent.
The primary activity is the £15m fund specialising in a broad spectrum of publicly traded companies, plus early and transformational investments in companies that have the potential to do great things.
The consultancy arm focuses on supporting organisations and private equity in delivering high growth strategies through a combination of organic and Merger and Acquisition (M&A) activity. Particular areas of expertise include post-acquisition integration and organisational management in high change environments.
Since our formation, we have invested in over 24 businesses at various stages of growth, and provide expert consultancy for global organisations looking to scale for growth.
We also provide bespoke training and consulting services for high growth organisations, with a particular focus on post-acquisition integration and organisational management in high change environments. Look out for future training events across the UK.
