  • Office overview

    Founded in 1979, Bain London has quickly become one of Bain's largest and most prominent offices. We work with ambitious U.K. and European management teams to generate substantial, lasting financial impact.

    Due to the size of our London office, we are able to work with a wide range of clients across a variety of industries and sectors. Over the past few years, our clients have included more than 30% of the FTSE 100. Since 1997, we and our European colleagues have advised on over 45% of all larger private equity deals in Europe. Our clients may be heads of large international companies, entrepreneurs or private equity investors, but all share our passion for results and are prepared to act decisively in order to achieve them.

    The London office is located just a stone's throw away from Trafalgar Square, at the very heart of England's historic capital city. With views of Buckingham Palace, the River Thames and the London Eye, the office's international and diverse feel seamlessly fits in with the city's eclectic and dynamic atmosphere.

    Culture has always been at the very centre of Bain London, and we are renowned for our fun, open and friendly attitude. We have regular social events to encourage communication and interaction across all roles and levels, including our annual summer event offsite. People who work at Bain London come from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences, all of which helps to give the London office the culture we are so proud of.

    Our people get personal fulfilment by delivering results and helping our clients become more valuable. This same motivation drives them to contribute their time and skills to work in the community. The London office encourages this involvement through our "Bain Cares" programme. Last year, over 70% of the office was involved in the local community in some way.

    Bain London has consistently ranked as one of the best places to work in the U.K. We topped the annual "Financial Times Best Workplaces" report in 2006 and placed in the top 10 of the "100 Best Work Places in the EU" alongside our Brussels colleagues. This commitment to our people and to our clients makes Bain London a great place to work.
