THE COMPANY

Gradwell provides industry-leading software, connectivity and professional services that enable businesses to communicate.

CHALLENGE

Founder and CEO Peter Gradwell needed to articulate his vision for the business by developing a rigorous business plan and financial model, to attract capital investment for growth. We worked with Peter to explore his objectives for the business, to understand where he wanted to take it and what he wanted to achieve. We also determined Peter’s personal objectives before putting a plan together that would see him fulfil his goals.

OUTCOME

Our first deal secured private equity backing from Altitude in 2012, and then from Chiltern Capital in 2017. Following Gradwell's exceptional growth, Peter was awarded the Entrepreneur of the Year Award at Insider South West’s 42 Under 42 dinner in 2017.

TESTIMONIAL

“I have worked with the team at Shaw & Co for more than five years now, they advised me on both the 2012 investment by Altitude and the latest deal with Chiltern. They have been an outstanding long term partner to me and the business. Their advice has been invaluable, and they have been a great support in my decision-making every step of the way."

"
For ambitious owner-managers trying to grow their business, Shaw & Co’s offering is tailor made."
