Hello, this is an account that I have set up to suggest small, uncontroversial, edits to articles related to
Permira. I am acting on behalf of Permira to ensure their Wikipedia page is up-to-date. I'm aware that there are guidelines about editing pages if there is a potential conflict of interest, so I would like to disclose here that these contributions are made on behalf of Permia and in consultation with them, and I intend to follow all of Wikipedia's guidelines, including those on WP:COI, WP:RS, WP:V and WP:NPOV, very closely.
I would like to propose the following changes:
Permira
- Permira specialises in five sectors: Consumer, Financial Services, Healthcare, Industrials and TMT (Technology, Media, Telecommunications). There are currently 25 companies in the Permira funds’ portfolio and the firm comprises approximately 120 professionals.
I suggest we replace "currently 25 companies" with "more than 20 companies" [1]
- There are currently 25 companies in the Permira funds’ portfolio and the firm comprises approximately 120 professionals.
I suggest we replace "approximately 120 professionals." with "over 120 professionals."
- Permira is led by two co-managing partners Kurt Björklund and Tom Lister.
I suggest we change "co-managing partners" to "Co-Managing Partners"
