Twenty20 Capital Support

We identified CRG TEC as an agile, entrepreneurial tech business which was already making waves in the sector but needed support in the way of senior management structuring and corporate governance. Through a collaborative approach, we were able to embed experience and influence the business’s growth strategy, operational alignment and financial health.

“Having always had a strong entrepreneurial ambition, partnering with Twenty20 Capital and industry leaders Ian Munro, Tristan Ramus and Jamie Webb allowed us to realise our ambitions and launch CRG TEC LTD. As a start-up, their expertise, support and backing have helped us achieve strong organic growth, scalability and profitability, even during challenging global markets as a result of COVID-19”.
