George Rolls
Rolls is a well versed private investor and entrepreneur in his own right. Over the last 25 years, Rolls has been involved in numerous investment transactions, acting on his own and on behalf of other investors. He has been an active Director, hands on manager and advisor to many companies in the private (unquoted) sector. Rolls’ investment background in various sectors, such as technology (healthcare, IT and mobile telecoms), publishing and print media, consumer products and low tech manufacturing brings to the Investment Committee and team a needed diversified balance.
Over his career he has been involved in structuring and executing several company acquisitions and exits via Mergers and Acquisition activities, as well as executed buyouts of firms he controlled. His entrepreneurial skills are instinctive, which continues to aid him and will be another valuable benefit to the Investment Committee.
From the investments and entrepreneurial background, Rolls has gained the knowledge to quickly grasp both the technological and business challenges around every transaction. His in depth reviews of companies will be invaluable during our review and due diligence process in determining appropriate investments for the Fund.
In addition to a wide range of professional contacts, Rolls also brings with him a significant network of business associates developed over the years that will be a great asset to the Committee when resourcing needed skill sets.
Earlier in his career, Rolls spent several years in Australia, setting up his own companies, primarily in the manufacturing and insurance sectors, before returning to the UK to bring those skills and experiences to work in London.
After his Australian years Rolls was involved in a buyout and turnaround of an IT services firm in the UK, which was then successfully sold back to its former parent. He was then directly involved in a consumer product firm that he worked on the turnaround of, and ultimate exit. He also was a significant team member of a group who purchased and ran a low tech manufacturing operation which was successfully sold.
Rolls’ history in investments, turnarounds situations and structuring merger and acquisition transactions, reflect his strong strategic skills and a natural business ability to be successful.
