Equistone Partners Europe Limited was established in 2011 as an independent investment firm following the buyout of Barclays Private Equity (BPE) by its executives.^[1]^[2]

BPE, founded in 1979, was the private equity division of Barclays Capital, the investment banking arm of Barclays plc.

Equistone has a team of 35 investment professionals operating in Birmingham, Manchester, Munich, London, Paris and Zurich, investing as a strategic partner alongside management teams. In each of our markets we look for strategic businesses with the potential to grow in value assisted by our capital and our experience.
