VERSATILITY
I have worked with the Nova team on several transactions over many years, both as a lender to their portfolio companies and as an advisor. They are an innovative group and have a strong track record of getting complex transactions done and then rolling their sleeves up operationally to support the businesses they invest in.

EXPERIENCE
Nova’s blend of operational, financial and investment experience, alongside their deep knowledge of the heat exchanger industry, made them an ideal co-investor (in Sterling Thermal Technology). With a new management team and a rationalised manufacturing footprint, STT is now profitable and growing.

HIGHLY RESPONSIVE AND RELIABLE
Since becoming an investor in Nova Capital through selling them the majority of my business nearly two years ago, I’ve found their wealth of experience and positive attitude has added significant value to my remaining equity, and I continue to be excited about the future.

STRONG STEWARDSHIP
Nova struck the right balance leveraging their decades of PE and C suite management experience whilst providing insightful and practical advice as well as room for our management team to run the business. This approach has been instrumental in helping us to solve tough problems and ultimately to optimize the growth and profitability of Exchanger.
Mark El Baroudi, CEO, Exchanger Industries
MAXIMISED DEAL EFFICIENCY
As a CEO of one of Nova Capital’s portfolio companies I found their style of management to be very professional and competent. They gave me the freedom to run the business while providing guidance and advice on a regular basis. They have a thorough understanding of the M&A processes and are respected by many of the key M&A advisors.

SATISFY ALL STAKEHOLDERS
Working with Nova Capital from 2013 to 2018 the Ashland Hardware business made terrific progress that resulted in a very positive outcome for stakeholders as well the company. Nova was instrumental at the beginning of the initiative at ensuring alignment around a well-focused strategy to grow. I whole-heartedly endorse partnering with Nova Capital.
