What our businesses have to say.

The reason we chose to take investment from the Bailie Group was mainly down to the people leading the organisation. Their approach is hands on, but we never feel like control is being wrenched away from us. They have such a good blend of senior operating partners who have complementary experiences in our industry and beyond it’s opened doors and opportunities from very early on in our relationship. This has been a big help as it gives us well educated insights to take on board and put in to action. They also focus on not just the right financial outcome for them, but they really focus on the right outcome for the management team and wider staff.
