Inflexion invests in Medivet

The fresh capital will enable Medivet to continue pursuing its acquisitive growth strategy, which has seen it establish a chain of 160 practices across the UK.

As part of the deal, Inflexion partner Mark Williams will take a seat on the Medivet board of directors.

Financial details of the transaction remain undisclosed, though capital for the transaction was drawn from Inflexion's 2014-vintage £400m Partnership Capital Fund I, which provides equity tickets in the £15-75m range. The fund recently invested £41m in UK financial consultancy Lane Clark & Peacock.
