Smedvig Capital is a London based private equity firm formed in early 1996 by John Hewett and Peter Smedvig. Over that time, the firm has committed approximately £350 million to more than 40 investments. About a third of that sum has been invested directly with Smedvig as lead investor, typically in small buy outs and development capital deals. Direct investment size ranges from £2 million to £10 million of equity, although larger sums can be financed in collaboration with our strategic partners. The remainder has been invested with a small number of third party private equity funds where there is a strong affinity with the investment philosophy of the general partner. The most established of these relationships is Bain Capital. Whilst Smedvig Capital does not focus exclusively on any specific sectors, over time it has built expertise in a number of areas including information management, financial services, consumer goods, retail and support services.
