3i's mid-market Buyout business is organised on a pan-European basis. At all stages of the process, from deal origination to exit, we assemble the "best team for the job" to create and help deliver the "value creation plans" we develop with management for every investment that we make. The strength of our market access, execution skills and ability to add value post investment are all critical to success.
