A regional investor to build the best UK businesses

We are an independent private equity investor focused on lower-mid market businesses across the UK regions. We work alongside owners and management teams, sharing our knowledge and experience. We don’t make decisions based purely on balance sheets and business plans. It’s about recognising great ideas and helping turn them into great businesses, with all the excitement and challenges involved.

We back people, we believe in.

We partner with ambitious UK management teams to help them accelerate their growth and build successful businesses. With over 330 investments since 1984, we are one of the most experienced and trusted regional investors in the UK.
