British Private Equity Awards 2019: winners announced

Congratulations to the winners of this year's Unquote British Private Equity Awards, held last night in London.
With a new attendance record set at The Brewery in London last night, Unquote would like to thank all that took part in our 15th Awards and helped make the night a great celebration of success.
The number and strength of entries this year was notable too, making the judging panel's task of selecting the shortlist a particularly challenging one. The judges' input was then considered alongside a vote from the Unquote readership to determine the winners.
