Moss is a Chartered Accountant. Palatine says he joined the firm in 2018 after consultancy work with several companies, including two Palatine investee companies.

• Moss’s role appears portfolio-focused rather than deal-origination-focused: his own Palatine bio says, “I enjoy working with business owners to help them achieve their targets.”
• Palatine’s Buyout strategy invests £10m–£50m in established, profitable lower mid-market companies, primarily in business services, technology, and financial services.
• Palatine looks for businesses with clear M&A potential, operational improvement opportunities, and an ESG / sustainability angle.
• The Impact Fund invests £5m–£30m in companies tackling issues such as education and job inequality, healthcare access, climate change, circular economy, ethical finance, and sustainable business services.
• Palatine emphasizes value enhancement after investment: strategic M&A, performance optimisation, ESG, and people and culture are recurring parts of its playbook.
