🏞 Imagine an all-expenses-paid hiking and kayaking adventure through the stunning Norwegian fjords. Well, what if you could go on such a trip, and raise money for charity in the process? With the Venari Partners Challenge, you can do just that! This September, our award-winning charity venture – which has been recognised by the Better Society Awards, Communitas, and the International CSR Excellence Awards – returns for another instalment. We want to give especially deserving people who have faced challenging personal circumstances a chance to undertake an incredible expedition through a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site. Participants will hike, camp, and kayak in Norway while fundraising for suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), our official charity partner for the Challenge. Sounds appealing, right? Nominations are open to all from 1 May. Be sure to check our website and social media for further developments. Thank you – and looking forward to receiving your nominations! #fundraise #adventure #VPchallenge #charity #csr #nominate

Having spent years working with private equity clients, we are delighted to have added to our offering in this space by welcoming Peter Keller to Venari Partners! We are thrilled to have added valuable experience to our private equity team – and now that Peter has well and truly settled in, we thought it would be a good idea to outline his experience in this sector while providing an overview of the market and what to expect as we expand our PE offering.

‘I was told I’d be total blind at 30. I outlasted that a little bit.’   Michael Swiatek has worked all over the world at some of the biggest names in aviation over the course of his career, which is all the more impressive considering the obstacles he has had to overcome. Michael was born with retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease, and he has made it is mission to uplift the lives of people with disabilities as they navigate the world of aviation – both on the ground and in the air.   Our Director, James Parker, caught up with Michael – who is currently Chief Strategy Officer at Abra Group – at our London office recently for a fascinating episode of the Venari Podcast. Over the course of their conversation, they discussed Michael’s experience and his efforts to highlight accessibility issues of all kinds across the aviation industry. Check out the comments section for links to the full interview, as well as a more detailed summary of Michael and James's conversation on our website. Our thanks to Michael for sharing such inspiring insights! #accessibility #aviation #diversity #dei #leadership #innovation
