| We concentrate on branded, customer-focused
companies that deliver high levels of customer satisfaction
resulting in brand loyalty and repeat purchases.
Our 83 years of combined experience has shown that
branded companies typically generate better operating
margins, provide a platform for growth and are less
susceptible to economic downturns. We have spent
our careers building, operating and financing branded
companies so therefore this is a natural focus for
Webster.
The concept of a branded company is not limited
to the consumer sector. The basis for strong brands
can be found within the business to business and
healthcare sectors as well. Examples where our
partners have investment experience include Bright
Horizons (corporate based childcare centers),
Nextel Communications (originally business to
business mobile communications), Vacation.com
(marketing services to retail travel agency industry)
and Comfort Keepers (home based care for senior
citizens). These companies have the qualities
that make them valuable business partners with
loyal customers and strong growth.
