These are our main investment areas.
Either directly or indirectly we have held, developed and exited a number of small stakes in brand-led food, drink, and brand concepts. We are looking for brands which have already launched and which have the capacity to grow.

Change can be either retirement or sale, turnaround or growth, or a capital requirement. Capital can be via debt or equity. Our investment sweet spot is £25,000-£500,000.
