Our Core Focus
We back growth — and growth is driven by people. The founders and teams we work with understand that. They have pride in their businesses, but they also have humility.
Their plans are ambitious but they’re also pragmatic. We may have patient capital, but our operators are anything but patient. They’re people who have built a fundamentally strong business model in attractive markets, and are primed for further scaling.
We are primarily backed by an entrepreneur, Richard Harpin, so we have the privilege of being able to take a longer-term view. That matters, because we recognise that growth isn’t linear.
It also means we can be flexible. We can structure a partnership the right way, whether that means capital for organic growth (for new products, channels or geographies), acquisitions, or to de-risk.
So if you have a business that’s in line with our Core Focus, one that’s on its way to becoming a market-leader, and you’re considering a minority investor who brings more than just capital, we could be right for you.

Majorities
Alongside our Core Focus, we also partner up with management teams who are looking to acquire a business.
We’re interested in businesses with sales greater than £30m, ones that are profitable but need some energy and new thinking to reach their potential. We have the experience and networks to achieve this alongside like-minded co-investors.
Our key sectors
Consumer sectors are our heartland, but our true focus is customer-centricity. This is what unites us as operators with all our partners. We like business models and market positions that benefit from powerful macro themes and trends — including ones that may not be immediately obvious at first glance.















































Growth Partner +
How we work with our partners
We go beyond the expected to help our founders and their teams to flourish.
We do this through our operator mindset and our Growth Partner Plus+ offering.
With Growth Partner Plus+, we share our commercial knowledge and expertise, and introduce founders to a wider network.

We support your teams with tailored Masterclasses
Is your Marketing Director running a rebrand or thinking about how to use TikTok? Maybe your Commercial Director is choosing which retailers to work with. We bring senior leaders together with experts who’ve been there and done that to help them move faster.

We give you access to a world of experience
It takes a community to grow a business. Whether it’s your peers across our portfolio giving tips on setting up a US entity or former CEOs sharing their secret sauce, our network shares a love of growing ambitious businesses.

We build strategy based on true insights and real experience
We’ll work with you on a clear path to growth that’s sustainable, informed by true insights into markets and customers. You own your strategy, but we’ll support on best practices, lessons from our expert network, case studies and market trends.

We want the best people on our team — and so do you
We’ll help you build your board and senior team with seasoned operators who bring a fresh way of thinking along with industry know-how. We’ve done it for many businesses and have lots to share on how to get it right.
