Inverleith LLP
Inverleith LLP invests into consumer brand businesses that operate within the high growth consumer categories of health & wellness, lifestyle and heritage brands, in companies headquartered in the UK and Europe. Inverleith acquires majority or strategic minority stakes in businesses through its Fund. The Fund focuses on businesses with revenues of between £5m – £30m. Inverleith targets businesses which have a product USP or strong defendable market position, have the opportunity to become an internationally scalable brand and where the founders / management are receptive to a collaborative investment approach with Inverleith. Inverleith’s point of difference is the ability to add both professional investment and strong operational expertise into businesses. With many of the team having worked operationally in consumer brand companies across both the FMCG and premium / luxury brand sectors, we know (and have lived!) the challenges faced by companies and brands, understand the strategic levers to drive growth and have the experience and global networks to support businesses in the areas where they need to focus.
