Cibicom is the only operator in Denmark with towers higher than 100 meters allowing digital terrestrial TV and radio broadcasters as well as mobile network operators to meet their government mandated universal coverage obligations cost-effectively. Cibicom owns a well-invested national network with significant opportunities for transformation.

It offers life-changing opportunities, helping learners to improve their employability and economic well-being through practical education.
Investment Rationale
Highly defensible and stable long-term market dynamics have been created as the growing skills gap within the UK labour market causes pressure on the government to support workforce training through increasing funding allocations. The rising level of regulation drives quality, barriers to entry and opportunities for established players such as LCG. The company benefits from a flexible business model between: (i) distance and face-to-face training; and (ii) funding allocations, and has received "Good" or "Outstanding" OFSTED ratings across its business divisions.

Investment Rationale
The skin and wound care sector has positive market dynamics, in particular due to the increasing demand for products that address issues related to ageing populations and rising rates of obesity. It enjoys significant defensibility, with positive regulatory forces and high barriers to entry, which have been enhanced by the European Medical Device Regulation.

The company’s activities are highly resilient, with embedded long-term relationships with large Danish blue-chip customers including banks and public entities with critical IT requirements.
Plan
Drive growth as a standalone company with a dedicated management team. Focus on offering more innovative products and services to a wider range of customers operating in complex environments.

Recover is a leading supplier of Emergency Response and Damage Control services in the Nordic region, serving a wide range of customers, notably Insurance Companies .

Strong underlying market growth driven by urbanisation, population growth, and increase in property values.
Plan
Carve out and integrate the 3 country operations, expand into lateral geographies to create the Nordic market leader
Impetus
Impetus operates a traditional waste management business, a waste broking business and a small vehicle fleet. It is also the largest landfill operator in the North East, owning and operating two sites.
Investment Rationale
Highly regulated, resilient and non-cyclical industry. Since 1994, UK government policy has been to divert volumes away from landfill by not licensing new landfills and increasing landfill taxes therefore operators with green solutions for waste are better positioned to secure long term contracts.
Plan
Transform business from traditional waste management to green solution for waste.
