Innovia takes management team award

The Innovia Group’s management was named the National Large Buyout Private Equity Backed Management Team of the Year at the British Private Equity Venture Capital Association’s (BVCA) ceremony dinner held in London on Thursday.

The team had been automatically entered into the national awards after winning the Large Buyout Private Equity backed Management Team of the Year and International Impact Management Team of the Year in the North West Region earlier this year.

“The BVCA Management Team Awards are designed to celebrate managerial excellence, and underline what an important role private equity and venture capital plays in the national economy,” said a press note issued by Innovia. “They are the only awards … dedicated to the management teams of U.K. businesses backed by private equity and venture capital.”

CEO David Beeby was said to have recognized teamwork, one of the group’s core values, when he made his acceptance speech. “I have the privilege and honor to head up a team of 1,600 people,” he said. “Any success we have is as a result of the combined effort of the whole team.”
