About us

Empathetic capitalism

We are operators as much as investors. We are hands on with management and partners to build value and customer advocacy, drawing on decades of experience running and scaling real businesses.


We focus on the UK’s under served, under capitalised and fragmented experience economy; the participation sport and active leisure operators that mainstream capital overlooks. Guiding everything is our ethos of: development, performance, empathy and equity, the values running through every business we touch.
