Par Equity and Praetura Ventures have completed their merger to create PXN Group.

Billed as the  fastest-growing venture and investment firm outside of London and the South East, PXN has secured Financial Conduct Authority approval and set itself the target to unlock £1 billion in funding for high growth companies across the North of the UK by 2030.

This would see investment into promising Northern businesses boosted by 50%.

The firm will operate from offices in Manchester, Edinburgh, Yorkshire and London.
