Keir Stephenson

I could not verify from public sources that Keir Stephenson is currently listed as a member of Kings Park Capital's team. Kings Park Capital's current public team page lists Jason Katz, Hugo Robinson, Jamie Tillman, Artjom Dashko, George Brown, Gary Turner, and Gabriella Sasdi, but does not list Keir Stephenson. An archived 2018 version of the same team page also does not list him.

The firm connected to the provided contact details is Kings Park Capital LLP, a London-based private equity manager founded in 2007. Its website says it invests only in the European leisure sector and has raised more than £130 million of committed capital across two funds, with capital contributed largely by more than 70 senior leisure-sector participants.

Kings Park Capital is not presented by its own website as an angel investor or seed investor. Its published investment criteria describe private-equity-style transactions requiring £3-15 million of equity, significant equity positions, board representation, and a typical 4-5 year investment horizon.

• Kings Park Capital invests in leisure businesses headquartered in the UK or Continental Europe, with growth plans centred on those markets.
• The firm looks for "profitable, growing, high margin businesses with robust business models and track record of delivering consistent results."
• It backs "strong, ambitious management teams" and describes itself as an investor rather than an operator.
• KPC seeks businesses with "potential to grow materially either organically or through acquisition," including roll-out concepts with attractive capital models and under-managed or under-invested assets where value can be unlocked.
• The firm looks for strong personal chemistry with management and says it likes to know management well before investing.
• KPC expects significant equity positions and board representation, and says it aims to be an active contributor around the boardroom table.
