Backing Experts.
Fostering Legacies.
We partner with exceptional businesses in essential service industries and support through our people-first & technology-led approach.
What we do
We invest in and support the experts behind essential services – clinicians, engineers, technicians – who excel in their field but are stretched thin by the demands of growth, admin, and back-end operations.
We bring operational clarity, commercial rigour, and a deep respect for what’s already been built. With backgrounds in investing, operations, and digital transformation, we know how to take businesses to the next level – without losing their soul. We handle the scale, the structure, the strategy – so owners can focus on what matters most: their people, their clients, and the work they love.
Our approach: more than capital
This is personal for us, too. We’ve grown up in and around small businesses and know the passion and sacrifice it takes to build that legacy.
We combine that understanding with our deep expertise of investment & operations.
We’ve been in the trenches – inside companies, on boards, and as investors. We know what “good” looks like and how to build toward it. Our expertise spans strategic growth, digitisation, and operational transformation, and we’ve helped companies adopt the right tools, streamline processes, and unlock their next chapter.
People first, always
Our team combines operational grit with empathy. We know what it takes to scale, but we never forget the human story behind every business. That perspective guides how we work – with humility, transparency, and a genuine appreciation for the journey you’ve been on.
We form real relationships with owners based on shared values and work with them to build a shared vision for the future.
Thinking about the next chapter for your business?
Who we are
Growing up in family-run businesses, we cut our teeth young. But these stories aren’t just our past – they’re the reason we’re building differently.
We leverage these learnings and combine them with our deep investment, operational and technological expertise. We’ve spent our careers supporting businesses in strategy transformation, and we’ve helped companies adopt the right tools, streamline processes, and unlock their next chapter. Without losing what makes it special – people.
