Heidi Duckworth,

Heidi has a background in mid-market private equity, where she was a Director at Montagu Private Equity in London, focussing on management buy-outs in the UK. During a career break to look after her young family, she founded Rock Up Limited, a UK leisure business which she grew over a six-year period to become the UK’s leading fun climbing business with 8 sites nationally. This was successfully sold to an overseas trade buyer in 2023.
