The team under Bucknell is responsible for sourcing investment opportunities in private UK companies for a range of high net worth investors and private investment offices. He is based in the firm’s Bath office.
Prior to joining Chelverton, Bucknell managed over twenty new small and mid-sizes companies, as well as holding senior investment management positions at Barclays Ventures, ISIS Equity Partners and Catapult Venture Managers.
“It’s a really exciting time to be joining Chelverton, with the equity gap under-served by the more established private equity community. It’s also an area of the market where investors recognise that good returns can be delivered, with business valuations at sensible levels and company growth prospects looking better than for some years,” Bucknell commented.
