Our values
We have five core values that guide the way we conduct ourselves and run our international business. As a result, we have established standards of professionalism which are brought to bear in all that we do. By so doing we believe that this leads to the more effective management of the businesses we own and of Bridgepoint itself.To ensure maintenance of these standards, the firm is led by an operating committee chaired by our managing partner, and our partners who can also call upon the counsel of a European Advisory Committee. Decisions relating to whether or not we invest in businesses are made by an investment committee formed of the most experienced partners from across our business.
Our ultimate aim is to be the international private equity manager of choice wherever we operate and we seek to achieve this by shaping the way Bridgepoint works and thinks using five key values:
