Palladian Investment Partners

What Palladian Investment Partners does

Palladian Investment Partners LLP is a London-headquartered, FCA-authorised private equity firm structured as a limited liability partnership. Founded by David Morrison and Hamish Mackenzie, the firm provides flexible and collaborative capital to established, management-led businesses in the UK and Europe, with a stated emphasis on transactions that retain high shareholder continuity. The firm is currently co-managed by Doug Oppenheim and Sobhi Hatem (who joined as Partner in October 2023), with the co-founders continuing in Senior Partner roles on the investment committee.

Palladian's disclosed portfolio comprises three operating companies: Sciensus (a European pharmacy-focused patient services platform rebranded from Healthcare at Home in July 2021, serving over 200,000 patients with chronic, cancer and rare disease therapies); Intelli-Park (a UK parking technology and management business managing more than 2,500 sites, acquired via a management buyout valued at over £120 million in October 2023 alongside co-investor Vecturis Equity GmbH); and PayPlan (a UK provider of free-to-consumer debt advice and payment plan solutions, subject of a definitive agreement in September 2025 and completed in January 2026). Portfolio operations extend across the UK, Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany.

The firm generates returns through private equity fund management — principally management fees on committed/invested capital and carried interest on realised gains — while offering portfolio companies operational support in digital transformation, M&A and regulatory matters. Deal sourcing is relationship-driven, combining direct outreach to management teams with intermediated flow from advisors (e.g. Solano Partners, Ashcombe Advisers), and the firm holds membership in Invest Europe.
