Procam Take 2 is Europe’s largest digital cinematography and hire facility. With offices in both the UK and US, the business has been supplying production equipment to industry professionals throughout the UK and internationally for more than 30 years.
Procam is a market leader in a growing sector that required recapitalisation as a result of the impact of the Coronavirus-related industry shutdown. Inspirit partnered with the management team to purchase the business and recapitalise the balance sheet, leaving it well-positioned to take advantage of the attractive long-term sector dynamics.
Investment Manager
Paul joined the Inspirit team in August 2020 and focuses on both new deals and portfolio management. Prior to Inspirit, Paul spent nearly seven years at KPMG, including the latter four in the Private Equity Transaction Services team, where he gained significant experience in complex corporate carve-out transactions across a wide variety of industries. Paul is a qualified Chartered Accountant and holds an undergraduate degree in Geography from the University of Exeter.
I enjoy the challenge of understanding and tackling complexity, and greatly look forward to working and collaborating with ambitious management teams to realise their strategic visions and achieve collective success.
