Acquisitions to seed capital. Send business plan or transaction summary to crherbert@acumeninvestments.co.uk. I have recently shifted my group’s focus to the Iberian peninsula and am seeking to participate in the region's financial recovery through investments in private businesses, venture capital and property. However, I continue to invest throughout Europe.

I have invested in and managed a range of companies including activities in medical devices and real estate in Europe. My group’s industry expertise includes medical, real estate, food and engineering. A major financial and strategic interest was the largest independent medical devices company operating in Germany, the Netherlands and the Benelux. We manufactured within a range of 50 product groups encompassing Surgery and the Operating Theatre, Long Term Care, Wound-care and Laboratory and Diagnostics. I also developed significant property interests in Switzerland with real estate encompassing a city block in Geneva. Customers included a wide range multinationals and many embassies. In the 1980s I worked in London as a financier in the then emerging European leveraged buyout industry. I also had oversight over multiple finance companies in Portugal, Italy, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom. Transactions focused on leveraged buyout financing.
