Cairngorm Capital Partners LLP is a specialist private investment firm providing equity capital and management expertise to leading UK companies. We invest in private mid-market growth companies in manufacturing, distribution and services industries. We focus on companies that can weather economic volatility, have shown consistent historical growth and have significant future growth prospects. Cairngorm Capital invests in successful businesses that require a boost to achieve the next stage of growth. We generally seek companies with leading trade or consumer brands that attract highly loyal, recurring customers. The quality and success of the management team is a deciding factor in whether we invest, as we build and realize value through growth and operating improvements, not through financial engineering. Each company is operated autonomously and with an entrepreneurial philosophy. Occasionally, we may take minority investment positions in very high-growth companies. We do not invest in distressed companies.
