It's my belief the private equity industry, through the BVCA, can play a key role in providing investment opportunities for entrepreneurship and providing continuous commitment to creating sustainable value in small and medium sized businesses across the UK and beyond. Given the importance of economic growth in the current climate, I'm also convinced that the BVCA's membership can contribute significantly through investment in UK businesses "
