Strategy & Vision
Our strategy is to build shareholder value through the acquisition of industrial assets with the potential for development where, through the application of proven management skills and systems, they may achieve greater profitability.
Our strategy is to build shareholder value through the acquisition of industrial assets with the potential for development using a spectrum of funding instruments where, with the application of our management skills and systems we can achieve greater profitability. Once businesses have been improved and potential long-term growth configurations installed, we would expect to realise a gain through a variety of exit mechanisms.
Our strategy is very similar to that which we developed at Tomkins plc, with one key exception. Institutional investors in the public markets are not sympathetic to public conglomerate organisations; they have, however, even though with very diverse interests, favoured private equity structures. We intend to follow private equity principles with investment exits by demergers or sale and cash returns to shareholders when appropriate. The speed and management experience we possess together with the flexibility of being able to offer an on-going interest should give us a competitive edge over private equity competitors when negotiating transactions. In addition, we have proven management skills and systems, as well as the application of financial modelling.
