About Us
Our Story
Based in the heart of Manchester, Tristone Group is a privately owned buy-build-and-hold investment group acquiring and driving transformational growth of established and profitable lower-middle market companies.
We believe that the role of business is to deliver value to all stakeholders – customers, employees, suppliers, investors and wider society – and are passionate in the belief that positive commercial returns can, and should, go hand in hand with positive social impact.
We look to invest and partner closely with management teams and entrepreneurs that have track records of success and a commitment to quality.
We acquire profitable companies with enterprise values of up to £20 million, with good market share and prospects for growth, led by great management teams with a track record of delivering sustainable growth.
Our decentralised model and long-term investment horizon empowers our businesses to focus on what they do best – delivering outstanding products and services to the clients they serve. We believe that the best decisions are made locally, by those who are closest to the customer.
