London was the first Advent International office to open outside the US, in 1989. Today, it is one of 10 offices which form Advent's pan-European network, and one of 6 offices in Western Europe.

Our UK-led investments span the majority of Advent’s core sectors including business & financial services, retail and healthcare.

Led by a deal team of 28, our investments range from public-to-privates, corporate carve-outs and management buyouts, across growth scenarios including domestic and international expansion.

Our London office also frequently leads on investments outside the UK where we don’t currently have a permanent on-the-ground presence or where specific sector knowledge and experience are required.
