About Stirling
Stirling was established to offer a differentiated management and ownership approach for industrial businesses where the strategic and operational expertise of its team combines with that of the portfolio company's management to drive and enable improvements that create long-term shareholder value.
The Company focused on acquiring businesses with strong fundamentals and enterprise values between £100 million and £750 million. Transactions would be financed through a combination of new equity and prudent leverage, with the Company's target debt to be no more than 2.5x the Company's EBITDA.
Stirling's approach began with the belief that many companies have the potential to achieve material operational enhancement and margin improvement. Stirling's value add was to ensure operating assets have the right strategy, the right focused leadership, empowered and incentivised management teams and the appropriate capital investment to support growth.
The Company's leadership team has significant experience of identifying the key value drivers of a given business, implementing change strategies across a diverse range of industries and delivering significant operational value creation.
