About us

While most of the capital committed to our investments is provided by institutional investors, Cairngorm’s senior staff also invest in every transaction. We believe that this personal investment strengthens our commitment to the success of each company and ensures that our interests are completely aligned with those of our management partners.
However, we provide more than just capital to our investments. Working with our management teams, we transform businesses.
Our goal is to build companies that achieve leadership positions within their specific fields.

Opportunities

  • Cairngorm Capital’s Summer internship programme offers a deep dive into Private Equity’s day-to-day operations

  • Our interns have the opportunity to work alongside variety of professionals from our Investment and Transformation teams

  • Get involved in market research, assessing acquisition ideas and participate in key meetings with our advisors and management teams

“We research enduring themes and trends then find companies within that theme which are well positioned for accelerated growth, rather than trying to predict the next best-selling fashion item. You work alongside a portfolio company CEO to develop a business plan, run acquisitions for them and take board seats to help make key decisions for the company. You have to be a team player, establish lasting relationships and manage multiple stakeholders, and have intellectual curiosity, drive and humility to build an industry leading business.”

George Buckle, Cairngorm Capital Manager
