Companies of Special Interest

These are private companies in which I have a special interest in addition to those on whose boards I sit.  All have a very special place in their respective fields.

		Investis specialises in providing online corporate communications services to listed companies in Europe. It is the clear leader in its market, serving 250 clients across nine European countries. It provides specialised web services, such as event webcasting, creation of interactive versions of annual reports, share price feeds and charting tools.
		The Optima Group is a fast growth procurement advisory firm dedicated to ensuring our clients optimise their non-strategic overhead spend and unleash hidden profits. Its savings discovery process is a well-proven model for clients to optimise their spend and unleash profits hidden within their organisation. The twelve-year track-record has consistently created a sustainable cost and profit advantage for over two-thousand clients across the UK.
		Pi Capital is an independent venture capital firm which invests in small, unquoted UK businesses. What makes Pi Capital different from other capital sources is that it represents the private funds of a club of successful and influential business people and not the money of larger impersonal institutions.
