The Company and Our Investment

In July 2009, Octopus invested £2 million into communication systems provider KeTech, alongside a £2.5 million invoice discounting facility from Centric Commercial Finance. The transaction is the first from the £30 million Octopus Capital for Enterprise Fund.

KeTech is a multi-disciplined Group of companies specialising in communication systems integration and in-building environment and security controls. Its products include:

  • Train safety systems and customer information boards for the underground and mainline trains.
  • Nerve and drug detection equipment for use by the police and military.
  • Building management systems and controls.

Many of KeTech's products are used in critical operations and it has a strong reputation for delivering on time and to spec. The company has been involved in a number of high profile projects including the upgrade of the Victoria Line and South Coast Line as well as the DLR extension.
