About

Before accepting Brighton's offer to become CEO of Premier Performance, I did my due diligence on the firm. My experience after joining confirmed that Brighton’s approach to managing portfolio companies is different from most private equity groups. I’ve enjoyed working with the Brighton team to date, and value their continued involvement as we partner with a new private equity firm to take Premier to the next level.

Brighton Partners brings a professional, analytical approach to private equity investment in small growth companies. They know how to grow businesses.

To their credit, the Brighton team really invested a lot of time to understand our business and the industry. They’re a great sounding board for me and have been very helpful streamlining our operations as we’ve expanded from four to eleven locations.

I was all set to sell my company to a competitor when I was introduced to Brighton Partners. Under their proposal, I sold control, but kept an ownership stake. We’re poised for strong organic growth and geographic expansion.

The Brighton guys know what they’re doing. They invest in good management teams, find ways to help drive revenue growth, and work their way into realistic exit strategies. We have had strong returns on our investments with Brighton Partners.
