Circularity Capital further expands European team with senior appointment

Circularity Capital LLP, the specialist private equity firm supporting growth stage European SMEs in the circular economy, has announced the appointment of Maximillian Bork as a new member of the firm’s investment team.

Joining Circularity Capital from KPMG’s private equity team in Munich, Bork brings additional pan-European experience and will work to support Circularity Capital’s investment origination and due diligence activities.

Commenting on his appointment, Bork said: “Over the past few years, Circularity Capital has affirmed itself as a true sector pioneer. With a proven track record investing in growth-stage businesses, alongside unmatched expertise in harnessing the circular economy as a framework to drive competitive advantage, it’s a unique offer.”

Andrew Shannon, founding partner of Circularity Capital, added: “We are delighted to welcome Maximillian to the team. His appointment comes as part of a continued corporate drive to further enhance our capabilities as a specialist investor in the circular economy.”

Bork’s appointment follows a hugely successful 12 months for Circularity Capital. Alongside announcing the successful exit of SaaS platform ZigZag to Global Blue Group, the growth equity firm added sustainable packaging manufacturer PackBenefit to its portfolio and announced a follow-on investment in Berlin-based tech rental pioneer Grover.
