What makes us tick?

We seek investment opportunities in UK businesses that have the right mix of flair, growth potential and market vision. They may be looking to grow organically, acquire another business or secure a management buy-out. Typically, we look to invest between £2m and £10m.

Our investment team has wide industry experience. We’re open to ideas and proposals in all sectors and across the regions.

We’re hands-on investors. We work alongside the owners and management teams, sharing our knowledge and experience, drawing in additional expertise where necessary. We talk to the team to discover what makes them tick, and why they need our help.

We don’t make decisions based purely on balance sheets and business plans. To us, this is not just a numbers game, it’s about recognising great ideas and helping turn them into growing businesses, with all the excitement and challenges involved.

We aim to bring success to our partners, returns to our investors – and to embrace the challenges along the way.
