Chrysalis successfully exits KnowledgePool

Chrysalis VCT has successfully exited its investment in KnowledgePool (KP), the Bracknell-based business that provides managed learning services to clients such as Virgin Media, Ford, Aviva and Lloyds Banking Group. KnowledgePool Group, which reported revenues of £21.7m in the year to 30 September 2011, was acquired by Capita for an undisclosed sum.

The three core learning services offered by KnowledgePool are supplier management, learning consultancy and training administration.

Chris Kay, managing director of Chrysalis VCT Management Ltd, said: “We invested in KP just over two years ago to help fund its impressive growth providing £1m in a debt and equity package. We are delighted to report that from the sale we received nearly 6 times the cost of our equity as well as enjoying a healthy yield on the debt throughout the investment”.
