Enterprise Ventures reported another record year in 2014, completing 220 deals with a combined value of £30m.
According to an independent report compiled during the year, the majority of Enterprise Ventures’ loans and investments have gone into the most deprived regions in the UK. The report by Big Issue Invest, the social investment arm of The Big Issue, shows that Enterprise Ventures is helping to create a more balanced economy by investing in the regions, concentrating on deprived areas and focusing on priority sectors, such as manufacturing and export.
2014 saw the flotation of three of Enterprise Ventures’ portfolio companies – the Barnsley-based cleaning technology company Xeros Technology Group, Manchester-based Premaitha Health, and York-based Optibiotix Health.
