Baird looking to raise £250m
UK-based mid-cap investor Baird Capital Partners Europe is currently raising a ТЃ250m fund, according to a source close to the situation. The firm's previous vehicle closed on тЌ204m in 2005.
Last year, Baird sold UK-based recruitment business Aston Carter Group - which it had acquired in 2007 - to Allegis Group. The exit generated a 2.5x gross return and 27% gross IRR for the investor.
Baird Capital Partners Europe is the UK-based buyout firm of Baird Private Equity. The firm provides capital to lower mid-market companies with a total deal size between £10m and £50m in the business services, manufactured products and healthcare sectors. In addition to links with the United States, the firm's global platform includes operating resources in China and India.
