“The Enterprise Ventures track record has been instrumental in getting us to where we are now and following an intensive period of integration, we are coming together under one identity.

“Our goal is to become the leading investment company in the UK and, with our team of experienced investment specialists at the heart of our business, this is very much an achievable target for us.”

Mercia, which acquired Enterprise Ventures 18 months ago, has opened new offices in Sheffield, Leeds and Birmingham and now has 65 staff.
