Bob Hair, Regional Head – Scotland, Cazenove Capital, commented:
“Cazenove Capital has long been supporters of the entrepreneurial eco-system in Scotland, having had a significant presence here for over 30 years. We specialise in working with Scotland’s entrepreneurs and business owners to preserve and grow their own wealth, many of whom seek to deploy their own capital, time and resources to help others also achieve success.
It is essential that we help to connect those seeking investment opportunities in high growth businesses with those seeking growth capital. Scotland has fantastic innovative start-ups, but we need to expand the investor base providing growth capital where it really matters. Invest2Scale seeks to help change that by bringing investors to Scotland and showcasing the opportunities to invest in scaling companies here – a land where the ideas are plentiful, the people are ingenious and ambitious, and where investors can find tremendous value.”
Susan Donald, Business Development Director, MBM Commercial, commented:
“We are delighted to have Cazenove Capital’s enhanced support of Invest2Scale, underscoring their dedication to fostering the growth and success of scale-up companies in Scotland.”

"We are excited to welcome Bob and his team from Cazenove Capital. At Invest2Scale, we want to work with partners who share our passion for innovation and the drive that entrepreneurial ambition brings, and we know Cazenove Capital absolutely fit the bill.
Like Cazenove Captial, Eden Scott's commitment to Scotland's entrepreneurs has been unwavering, so joining forces through Invest2Scale will ensure our many scaling businesses have the investment and the talent they need to achieve their goals."
Stuart Millar, Marketing Manager, CT Accountant Advisers, commented:
"Invest2Scale's focus is on innovation, entrepreneurialism and investment, and Cazenove demonstrates those in spades. They make a natural founding partner for an event whose success is underscored by commitment to helping scaling businesses."
