Our Heritage

Way back when in the early 1990’s David Beer – BZW, Chartered Accountant, moved on from corporate life to establish Beer & Partners as the first business angel network in the UK. Nick Young joined David in the early days, establishing their London presence, helping to grow Beer & Partners into the largest business angel network in the UK. Beer & Young (B&Y) soon followed, established in 1998 to concentrate on turnaround investment projects. B&Y took over mainstream investment projects when Beer & Partners left the scene. Now B&Y Consultants – trading as B Y Consulting, has taken over the mantle. We retain the core values of our history, serving the SME community, helping to raise capital – often where others would struggle.
