Background

Fullbrook Thorpe Investments LLP is an independent private equity fund based in Derbyshire. The business was founded in April 2015 and has controls over £50m of funds under management. We invest both directly and as partners with other private equity businesses and have formed valuable strategic alliances with a number of prominent private equity businesses such as LDC, Maven Capital Partners and Yorkshire Fund Managers, as well as forming links with other family office investors.

The portfolio has investments in a wide variety of different sectors including pharmaceuticals, financial services, leisure and tourism, energy services, manufacturing and property development.

We take a holistic approach when considering our investments. They are not only chosen on their financial merits, we also place a significant value on our interaction with the management team.

Approach

We take a holistic approach when considering our investments. They are not only chosen on their financial merits, we also place a significant value on our interaction with the management team.

FTI takes a supportive interest in the management of its investments, often taking a seat on the board of directors and adding strategic value to the development of these companies.

FTI was founded by Andy Leaver, Tom Leaver and Andrew Borkowski. We have a strong track record of building and developing businesses and enjoy working with ambitious management teams.

We provide funding for a range of different corporate activities such as financing development capital, funding acquisitions or supporting management buy-outs. With investments taking the form of loans and/or equity, in a range of £0.5m and £5m, we have built a diverse portfolio of investments.

This variety underlines our focus on partnership and people. Whilst these businesses are very different in nature, what they have in common are ambitious management teams who value expertise, advice and know-how. Further, we place a high value on shared values, ambitions and chemistry in successfully maximising value for all stakeholders.
