The Income & Growth VCT
Chair
The Income & Growth VCT plc, with total assets of c. £80m, is a listed Venture Capital Trust advised by Mobeus Equity Partners LLP. The trust’s policy is to invest primarily in a diverse portfolio of young unquoted UK companies for the purpose of their growth and development. The company sought a Chairman who had prior non-executive experience, experience in venture capital / private equity investment and working with fast-growing UK SMEs ideally in the technology sector.
Through Nurole they found an ideal candidate in Maurice Helfgott, former Managing Director of Marks & Spencer Ventures, Chair of Brightpearl, Oliver Sweeny, Amery Capital, Long Tall Sally Ltd and former Chair of Myoptique Group Ltd.
One of the highest quality shortlists I’ve seen for any board I’ve sat on. Every one of the shortlisted candidates would have been hireable.

Client
The experience of applying for an opportunity through Nurole was simple and efficient and I quickly found a new and interesting Chair role which I very much doubt I would otherwise even have been aware of.
