    I was able to get to know Berylls Equity Partners from the opposite side as an advisor to the Heinrich Huhn Group. For me, the BEP team stands out not only for its high level of industry and transformation expertise, but also for its strong empathy and entrepreneurial responsibility.

    Those who are willing to invest their own money in a distressed case do not take on a project assignment, but responsibility for the overall result - another point that makes Berylls "but different"!
