We invest in small, proven UK businesses to drive growth over the long-term
We only acquire businesses we can understand
For us that means tangible and predictable businesses across the food and beverage, industrial and business services sectors. Typically, with EBITDA of £1-5M.
We only acquire profitable and free cash flow generative businesses
We only acquire or invest in businesses that are already successful and have a proven track record of adding value to both customers and shareholders.
We only invest alongside management teams we can trust
Whether we work with the existing management team or with a departing shareholder to recruit a new team, we only want to work with management who have high integrity, sector knowledge and the desire and energy to deliver mutual success.
We are flexible in our ownership approach
We are comfortable with 100%, majority or minority positions and are flexible in our approach to deal structure.
We think and act long-term
As business owners, investing our own capital, we think and act in the best long-term interest of the business and its shareholders.
We are pragmatic and focussed
As experienced operators who have sat on both sides of the table, we understand the gravity of taking on new investment. We provide focussed and meaningful support to management teams without the unnecessary bureaucracy that can come with complex financial investors.
