Funding Announcements

"This investment is a game changer for us and really sets us up for our next big phase of growth. We have always taken a test and learn approach to our investments in growth and that has not only kept us in control of our destiny as shareholders but has carried us through some of the most testing times for businesses that we have ever seen. I am excited that in partnership with Maven we will be able to accelerate our growth and capitalise on the massive market opportunity"

"This funding round is a major milestone for MPB culminating a decade of strong performance and a vision to make great kit accessible and affordable. With the backing of Vitruvian Partners and those reinvesting in our business we can accelerate our US and European growth strategy at scale, profitably. Photography and videography are intrinsic to societies and cultures all over the world, and at MPB we have created a circular model that offers everyone the chance to be visual storytellers and content creators in a way that’s good for the planet."

"For too long, so many SMEs — representing 80% of the hospitality industry — have been excluded from the benefits of modern sales technology due to the unit economics and requisite technical expertise. We strongly believe there’s another way and our product offering and commercial model proves that. In a market worth $47bn, we’re providing an advanced sales platform and card processing solution at a cost below the most popular payment-only services."

"It was a pleasure to work with Ian and the team and support their rapid growth. Our latest investment in Boiler Plan is a real testament to what the business has achieved so far, and the funding package is a great example of our regional funds working together to allow a British business to capitalise on new market opportunities across the UK."
