Foresight Group - Richard Roberts
Foresight Group is an independent infrastructure and private equity investment manager, with specialist teams targeting growth businesses, renewable energy and environmental projects in the UK, North America and Italy. At Foresight we are well aware of the need to live up to our name. That means spotting opportunities ahead of the crowd; it means being flexible; it means being innovative; it means being totally focused and responsive to the needs of our investors while creating an environment that attracts the very best talent in our sector. We summarise this in just two words Creative Capital. These two words sit behind everything we do from supporting entrepreneurial managers of growth businesses, to bringing together institutions to invest in groundbreaking renewable energy projects alongside the Green Investment Bank, to offering private investors tax efficient investment solutions to help them plan for the future. It is in deploying our financial, intellectual and emotional capital creatively that helps us make a better future for our investors, for our investee companies, for our partners, for our colleagues and ultimately for the world in which we live.
