About Us
Jon Moulton
Jon Moulton is Managing Partner of Alchemy, a UK-based private equity firm, which has invested £1.9 billion of equity with an emphasis on dealing with troubled companies. It recently completed the raising of a £300m European special opportunities fund.
He is a Chartered Accountant, a CF and Fellow of the Society of Turnaround Professionals. He previously worked with Citicorp Venture Capital in New York and London, Permira and Apax. He has been a director of five public companies, numerous private companies and is currently a director of the US-based Irvin parachute business, the Advanced Business Solutions IT business, Sylvan (timber) and Ashmore Group – a major investor in emerging market debt.
The native of Stoke-on-Trent has done his best to fulfil the image of a plain-spoken man from Britain's industrial heartland and Alchemy is one of the few private equity companies to publish a full set of accounts at Companies House. – The Times 2008
Moulton is scathing about most politicians and would not be a natural lobbyist. Asked if he spends much time in the corridors of Westminster, he says: "Some people enjoy extreme pain. You can have a haemorrhoid operation without anaesthetic, but why would you?" – Guardian January 2006
