Envestors launches Isle of Man service

Braveheart Investment Group plc (BRH), the AIM-listed investment management group specialising in venture capital investments and investment services to business angels, high net worth individuals, family offices and public sector organisations, announces that Envestors Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary, is extending its service by launching in the Isle of Man.

Envestors has opened an office in Douglas, to be led by Nick Boon, a senior financial services professional with extensive experience in the wealth management industry. Envestors will arrange and host meetings including investment presentation evenings and private dinners showcasing high-growth private companies seeking equity investment.

Oliver Woolley, Founder Director of Envestors, said: "We already have a presence in the Channel Islands through our Jersey office, and look forward to bringing the benefits of our successful model to the Isle of Man.  We believe this will appeal to both local companies seeking equity funding, and investors looking to participate in their growth and the growth of companies throughout the UK and internationally."

At a launch event on Wednesday 9 May 2012, three companies will make presentations to a local audience of entrepreneurs and business people.
