Will Chappel

I am a ‘people person’, and I hugely enjoy getting to know founders and the businesses that they have built. I have always had a strong focus on working with management teams to help them grow and expand their offerings in a sustainable manner.

As the Head of the Palatine Growth Credit strategy, I am focused on finding new investment opportunities in fast-growing, scalable businesses across the regions throughout the UK. I work very closely with management teams to accelerate growth, push into new markets, develop their impactful approach, and build towards a successful exit or event.

I joined Palatine in 2023, and I have spent 20 years in Corporate and Investment Banking and Fund Management. I have spent the last fifteen years in Technology and Growth Credit financing and was part of the team that launched Barclays Venture Debt in 2013. I have successfully launched 3 Growth Credit strategies into the market and am passionate about helping businesses reduce shareholder dilution and maximise their growth potential.

Outside of the office, I enjoy watching Cricket, Football and Tennis (or playing one of these sports very badly) and spending time with my family that includes three children that ensure my life is always busy!
