Charterhouse Capital Partners LLP

Charterhouse Capital Partners LLP is one of Europe's oldest private equity firms, focused on mid-to-large-cap buyout investments in companies headquartered across Western Europe. The firm concentrates on four core sectors — services, healthcare, specialised industrials, and consumer — targeting profitable, experienced-management-led businesses with enterprise values between €200 million and €1.5 billion. Transaction types include management buyouts, secondary buyouts, growth-focused recapitalizations, and continuation fund transactions, with the firm pursuing a selective, conviction-led approach that frequently sources opportunities ahead of formal sale processes. Charterhouse's international team works in an integrated, flexible manner across sectors and geographies, partnering with founders and management teams to drive transformational change and long-term value creation rather than financial engineering. The firm traces its origins to 1934 as a division of Charterhouse Bank, with its management completing a buyout from HSBC in June 2001 to become a fully independent investment firm; it has completed more than 150 acquisitions over more than three decades of activity in the European buyout market. Founded in 1934, the firm is headquartered in London, United Kingdom.
