BGF is a prominent growth capital investor operating across the United Kingdom and Ireland, providing patient funding to small and mid-sized enterprises.
BGF has provided £3m in funding to action sports brand Ruroc to support the launch of its new motorcycle helmet and international expansion.
"The past two years have been phenomenal, and we want to leverage this momentum to reach even more Ruroc riders globally. Our direct-to-consumer model has helped us focus on product design and quality manufacturing and buck the trend for the action sports industry which relies heavily on large distribution chains."
BGF has taken a minority stake in the crêperie chain to fund domestic and international expansion.
"BGF is providing an initial investment but more importantly has come on board as a long-term, non-controlling partnership. We are pleased to be working with them in the next stage of our growth plan."
The Wiltshire-based data analytics firm has raised £2m from BGF to expand its digital platform.
"People recognise the value of their personal data but they also have concerns around privacy. They are more likely to engage with organisations if they feel in control of how their data is being used and know that they are genuinely benefiting from an organisation being able to analyse that data."
