New Tampa- & Charlotte-Based Keswick Partners Private Equity Website Drives Value through Partnership

Minneapolis, January 4, 2023 –– Keswick Partners, a private equity investment firm based in Tampa, FL, and Charlotte, NC, has announced the launch of its new corporate website and identity designed and developed by MVP Marketing + Design.

Founded to serve business owners and management teams in the lower middle-market, Keswick Partners is investing from its $100 million fund in value-added distribution, specialty service, and niche manufacturing companies across the United States with $2 million to $5 million of EBITDA.

As a start-up firm, Keswick Partners required a new website and corporate identity that would effectively communicate its liquidity solutions and management equity opportunities to founder- and family-owned businesses. The firm chose MVP Marketing + Design after seeing a variety of other distinctive, easy-to-manage, and cost-effective MVP WordPress websites that have stood the test of time.

“MVP’s first challenge,” according to Keswick Managing Partner, Chris Hart, “was to create an all-encompassing ‘look, theme and feel,’” reflective of the company’s commitment to the principles of “trust, integrity and active collaboration.” Once formulated, MVP next tackled the firm’s logo, which supports the tagline “Driving Value through Partnership…helping businesses navigate every landscape.” The end-result was a clean, mountain-inspired corporate identity that served as the basis for the website’s homepage image of a scenic country road winding its way through the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Hart went on to say, “The site is fantastic! We knew we had a tight timeline and a lot to accomplish. MVP gave us the best of both worlds: A fast time to launch and all the features we needed. The collaboration process was professional and productive. Couldn’t be happier with how it all came together. We appreciate MVP’s excellent work. Thanks!”

As a relative newcomer to the private equity and flexible capital market, Keswick chose MVP’s TeamPlate℠ WordPress website as its preferred software platform due to its design flexibility, faster time-to-market, and price advantages over other more time-intensive and costly custom-tailored alternatives. The site features dynamic deal statistics, vibrant team photos, carefully selected stock photography, and numerous custom-crafted icons all designed to help viewers understand that Keswick is there to help them build equity.

In addition to its strong visual design, the site employs proprietary code derived from MVP’s own award-winning and premium quality custom-tailored websites. And MVP’s trademark WordPress backend content administration system makes it a snap to post news, content updates, and messaging changes. The site also features custom filters –– as seen on its portfolio page –– which allow users to easily filter Keswick portfolio companies by industries such as Specialty Services, Niche Manufacturing, and Value-Added Distribution. Furthermore, various webpage sections display expandable accordion-style menus allowing users to reveal more detailed information from topics such as Majority Recapitalizations or Management Buyouts.

Keswick Partners’ new website and logo drive home the point that private equity firms seeking creative, collaborative, and cost-effective brand-to-web solutions can rely on MVP when expectations are high, budgets are tight and delivery times are short.
