According to Sky News, Bridgepoint has invested a further £15m into the fast food company in recent days, with a further sum, thought to be up to £20m, to be deployed over the next 18 months.
The new funding has been committed as Burger King UK's Master Franchise Agreement with a subsidiary of Restaurant Brands International has been extended to 2044 in a deal which is said to align the interests of its various financial stakeholders more closely.
Burger King's British operations comprise roughly 575 outlets, and employ approximately 12,000 people.
Bridgepoint declined to comment to Sky on the injection of new capital into Burger King UK.
