Graphite Capital, a priavte equity firm, completed an investment in Storal Learning, a children's nursery group. Financial terms were not disclosed. "The importance of early-years education – both in positively impacting children’s development and in increasing parental participation in the workforce – is hard to overstate. We are delighted to be able to play a role in this area and back Sarah, Varun, Ashwin and the Storal team in realising their ambitious plans. As part of our support, we are committing capital to enhance Storal’s education provision further and expand its footprint across the UK regions," Tony Saade, Graphite Partner.
