Why we like the business
Prior to our initial investment, the management team had bought the rights to the patented technology from a corporate who, having developed the concept, had then decided to concentrate on other core activities. The combination of experienced management, developed product and the significant growth potential in the wider ‘navigation’ market was key to our investment decision.
