Partnering with Cutwel in 2018, our investment has allowed the business to accelerate and enhance its sales and marketing strategy, drive operational efficiencies, and invest in its IT infrastructure and data capabilities.

We have also supported Cutwel to build out the management team and develop a strong approach to people and culture. At the time of investment Cutwel had around 50 employees and just five managers across the business. With our support, Cutwel has grown to over 90 team members, the majority of whom are based in Cutwel’s local community, and has over 20 people in leadership positions. Most managers in the business have joined the company in junior roles and have developed into managerial or leadership positions, as a result of the training, learning and development programmes in place across the business.
