Plural supports Connection Capital on their investment in Brompton Technology

Plural Strategy has supported Connection Capital on their £5.1million growth capital investment in Brompton Technology, a designer and manufacturer of leading-edge processing products for LED video walls used in live events and virtual production for TV and film.

Established in 2011, Brompton Technology is a market leader in supplying products designed for use in the live events market. Its products are used to generate high-quality images across multiple LED panels. These are used as the stage backdrop for sporting events or global music acts, and have been used on tours by artists like Taylor Swift and U2. This segment is rebounding as live events resume post-pandemic.

During Covid-19, Brompton Technology pivoted its model to also focus on TV and film production and it is now the market leader in virtual production technology globally. Using LED screens to display a backdrop allows for a more immersive acting environment than a traditional green screen, delivers cost savings compared to shooting on location, reduces post-production work and allows production companies to shoot in a Covid-safe and environmentally conscious manner. Growth in this market is being fuelled by customer demand for content from streaming services such as Netflix, Apple, Amazon and Disney+ as they compete for subscribers.

Connection Capital’s investment will enable Brompton Technology to meet soaring demand and further build on its industry-leading technology.

Matt, Sam and the wider Plural team provided a really thorough and insightful piece of work which helped inform our view of the opportunity and the company. We look forward to working with the team on future investments.
