Making a difference through the way we invest in technology, people & property that inspire.
Our Difference
Responsible investment for the benefit of your business and future generations.
We don’t invest in just any business, we invest in people, potential, and purpose. Our genuine difference is that every acquisition and investment we make must be done in in people and ideas that make a positive impact. Likewise, our commercial property investments must return as much in inspiration as they will in yield.
The Way We Invest.
As an independent family business, investing our own cash, our acquisition and investment principals are the strongest representations of what we stand for as a collective. To invest in ideas, people, and places that make a positive difference.
From projects that keep people safe and ensure vital equipment reaches the front line, to systems that connect citizens with essential services, support the UK’s transport infrastructure, and transforming measurement and delivery of communications across industries, we focus on making a meaningful difference.
At our core, we’re building an entrepreneurial group of collaborative specialists. Each company within the Group is empowered to harness technology and deep sector expertise to create solutions that help our customers unlock their full potential, through intelligent use of content, data, and information.
We’ve invested millions into projects that help our companies grow, innovate, and contribute to the communities they serve. And we’re just getting started. Through continued internal investment and the acquisition of like-minded businesses, we’re shaping a Group designed not just for today, but for future generations.
“We understand that to back the best teams, we need to be flexible. That’s why with all of our acquisitions and investments we have a management-oriented philosophy which favours partnership above control.”
Fergus Bailie
CEO
"The idea of being “the home of investment” came about because of our commitment to treating our team, investments, and planet with the same care we do our own family and home. This fits in perfectly with the principles behind ESG. Our approach to looking after our people, society and our planet is far more than a box ticking exercise it’s an absolute non-negotiable."

ESG.
We believe responsible investment means backing businesses that are making a genuine, positive impact — not just for today’s world, but for future generations.
We actively support the development of strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices as a vital part of building sustainable, forward-thinking organisations.
For us, ESG isn’t just a compliance exercise, it’s a powerful driver of long-term value creation and resilience across our portfolio.
