Family members and Founders Berkeley Group Plc PROFILE
Berkeley Group Plc is a proprietary investment company with significant investments in the Nigerian economy and a track record of successful strategic investing. It has operated like a quasi-Private Equity Firm for over 20 years specializing in frontier sectors and turnaround management. Some of these investments include the following:
Ocean & Oil Holdings Limited
This company acquired control of Unipetrol Plc from the Nigerian Government under its privatization programme. Ocean & Oil Holdings acquired Agip Nigeria Plc, which was merged with the privatized Unipetrol. The name of the merged entity was changed to Oando Plc. Oando has become the second largest oil marketing company in Nigeria and the first Nigerian company to be listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. In addition to its oil marketing business, Oando is building a portfolio of businesses across the oil value chain including a strategic alliance
with Halliburton in the oil service business, equity stakes in oil producing blocks and refining and power generation businesses. Berkeley stakes in Oando has been sold down.
Vee Networks Limited
This company acquired a license to provide GSM mobile services during the first license auction in Nigeria in 2001. Mr Imasekha was a key member of the team that promoted the company and drove the bidding, license acquisition and start-up process. He joined the Board of Directors on inception and was instrumental in the process of executing the company’s financing plan. He was also a key member of the Investment Committee of the Board that negotiated the sale of a 65% stake in the company valued at $1.005bn to MCI/Celtel Group. The company is presently known as Airtel. Bromley Asset Management, a subsidiary of Berkeley Group sold a 5% stake worth over $75million in this transaction.
Notore Chemical Company Limited
In 2007, Ascot Offshore, a subsidiary of Berkeley, acquired the West African assets of Willbros Group Inc., an oil and gas EPCI contractor based in Houston for $155m. This gave Ascot a strong foothold in the lucrative oil field services of the Energy Sector of the Nigerian economy. The company had built strategic pipelines across the West African sub-region including Cameroun, on land, swamp and water. At acquisition, it had contracts with virtually all the IOCs that operated in
Nigerian oil industry. Due to political exposure, Ascot Offshore suffered incalculable damage to its image and had to be taken over by AMCON. Berkeley still holds a 5% stake in Ascot through one of its directors.
Capcom Telecoms Limited
Capcom is the company that sought to establish a broadband internet business in Nigeria by spectra aggregation strategy in the last quarter of 2012. It achieved that by acquiring the combined spectrum licenses of Multi-links Telecommunications Ltd and Cyancom Ltd (formerly known as MTS Wireless Ltd) to launch the 4G/LTE technology, towards its pursuit of providing high speed, high capacity internet services to the Nigerian telecoms market. It also acquired a 5,500 km of Optic fibre ring that belonged to one of the acquired companies – Multi-Links. Due to strong head winds, occasioned by very competitive telecoms market, this project was aborted and Avenue Partners of UK, led by Kevin Maxwell took over Berkeley’s stake in Capcom.
Management
Berkeley is owned and managed by Henry E. Imasekha, a highly respected former investment banker. He left banking as Executive Director, Investment Banking Sector, UBA Plc, in 1999 to set up Bromley Corporation that metamorphose into Berkeley. He is the Chairman of Berkeley.

Family members and Founders Berkeley Group Plc PROFILE
Berkeley Group Plc is a proprietary investment company with significant investments in the Nigerian economy and a track record of successful strategic investing. It has operated like a quasi-Private Equity Firm for over 20 years specializing in frontier sectors and turnaround management. Some of these investments include the following:
Ocean & Oil Holdings Limited
This company acquired control of Unipetrol Plc from the Nigerian Government under its privatization programme. Ocean & Oil Holdings acquired Agip Nigeria Plc, which was merged with the privatized Unipetrol. The name of the merged entity was changed to Oando Plc. Oando has become the second largest oil marketing company in Nigeria and the first Nigerian company to be listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. In addition to its oil marketing business, Oando is building a portfolio of businesses across the oil value chain including a strategic alliance
with Halliburton in the oil service business, equity stakes in oil producing blocks and refining and power generation businesses. Berkeley stakes in Oando has been sold down.
Vee Networks Limited
This company acquired a license to provide GSM mobile services during the first license auction in Nigeria in 2001. Mr Imasekha was a key member of the team that promoted the company and drove the bidding, license acquisition and start-up process. He joined the Board of Directors on inception and was instrumental in the process of executing the company’s financing plan. He was also a key member of the Investment Committee of the Board that negotiated the sale of a 65% stake in the company valued at $1.005bn to MCI/Celtel Group. The company is presently known as Airtel. Bromley Asset Management, a subsidiary of Berkeley Group sold a 5% stake worth over $75million in this transaction.
Notore Chemical Company Limited
- This company, which has a capital of $120million, recently acquired the assets of the liquidated National Fertilizer Company of Nigeria Limited (NAFCON) for $152million under a recently completed privatization transaction. The NAFCON plant was built at a cost of over $750million in the 1980s by Kellogg and is the largest fertilizer plant in sub-Saharan Africa. Subsequent to the acquisition, Notore raised $170million from local financial institutions, to finance plant rehabilitation and ramp-up of production. Brisbane Investments Limited, a subsidiary of Berkeley, still holds a significant stake in Notore.
In 2007, Ascot Offshore, a subsidiary of Berkeley, acquired the West African assets of Willbros Group Inc., an oil and gas EPCI contractor based in Houston for $155m. This gave Ascot a strong foothold in the lucrative oil field services of the Energy Sector of the Nigerian economy. The company had built strategic pipelines across the West African sub-region including Cameroun, on land, swamp and water. At acquisition, it had contracts with virtually all the IOCs that operated in
Nigerian oil industry. Due to political exposure, Ascot Offshore suffered incalculable damage to its image and had to be taken over by AMCON. Berkeley still holds a 5% stake in Ascot through one of its directors.
Capcom Telecoms Limited
Capcom is the company that sought to establish a broadband internet business in Nigeria by spectra aggregation strategy in the last quarter of 2012. It achieved that by acquiring the combined spectrum licenses of Multi-links Telecommunications Ltd and Cyancom Ltd (formerly known as MTS Wireless Ltd) to launch the 4G/LTE technology, towards its pursuit of providing high speed, high capacity internet services to the Nigerian telecoms market. It also acquired a 5,500 km of Optic fibre ring that belonged to one of the acquired companies – Multi-Links. Due to strong head winds, occasioned by very competitive telecoms market, this project was aborted and Avenue Partners of UK, led by Kevin Maxwell took over Berkeley’s stake in Capcom.
Management
Berkeley is owned and managed by Henry E. Imasekha, a highly respected former investment banker. He left banking as Executive Director, Investment Banking Sector, UBA Plc, in 1999 to set up Bromley Corporation that metamorphose into Berkeley. He is the Chairman of Berkeley.
