East Midlands Chamber has commenced a strategic partnership with Leicestershire-based RandalSun Capital Ltd, founded by entrepreneur and influencer, Dr Nik Kotecha OBE DL.
The collaboration will see RandalSun Capital contributing to the shaping of policy within East Midlands Chamber, while the Chamber’s membership base – comprised of more than 4,000 businesses across the region – stand to gain from RandalSun Capital’s shared insight at flagship Chamber events.
RandalSun Capital is an investment company that works with a wide-ranging global business portfolio across fast-growing businesses and sectors, from start-ups to patient capital, with retained interests in health, life sciences, technologies and highly innovative, IP-rich businesses.
East Midlands Chamber Chief Executive Scott Knowles said: “Partnering with influential voices at the forefront of innovation brings a wealth of benefits to the East Midlands business community. RandalSun Capital is very much focused on growth through investment, while being rooted in the East Midlands.
“RandalSun Capital’s founder Dr Nik Kotecha OBE DL has deep roots in our region, having grown his global generic pharmaceuticals firm, Morningside Pharmaceuticals Ltd, from its Loughborough base – over three decades.
“With business interests firmly fixed on the global landscape today through RandalSun Capital, he’s also well known as someone who drives change for good, championing, generously supporting and elevating worthy causes through a genuine commitment to improving lives. Leading the Randal Charitable Foundation, Dr Kotecha’s work in alleviating poverty, improving healthcare for vulnerable people and making education more accessible by tackling inequality is inspirational.
“I’m delighted RandalSun Capital have entered this strategic partnership with the Chamber, where I’m certain the experience they have in starting businesses, innovating, exporting and scaling businesses for growth – so that they reach their full potential, will be an asset to the East Midlands business community.”
RandalSun Capital Founder and Chairman Dr Nik Kotecha OBE DL said: “East Midlands Chamber’s values closely align with ours, helping businesses grow and thrive, wherever they are in our region. The Chamber recognises, too, the power of a shared voice for businesses, large and small – and we’re delighted to be playing a part to amplify that, through this partnership.
“We’re very much looking forward to working closely with colleagues from East Midlands Chamber, supporting their already potent ability to communicate our regional needs, and champion regional strengths. The opportunity to collaborate meaningfully, to help shape policy that will deliver more for our region is something that we’re very much looking forward to.
“RandalSun Capital operates in the UK and internationally, but fundamentally, we’re Leicestershire grown and Leicestershire based, with strong connections to the East Midlands and its economy. I’m delighted to contribute as another voice from business – whether that’s here in the region or in Westminster or Whitehall, to keep elevating the agenda for investment and infrastructure – and more – for our region.
“I’m passionate about the huge potential of the East Midlands – and the incredibly innovative and dynamic business community that is based here. So, this partnership is a natural extension of our long-standing commitment to East Midlands Chamber and our great region.”
