How we work
Four principles we hold ourselves to.
They decide which businesses we start, who we partner with, and how long we are prepared to wait for a return.
Every company stands on its own
Each business keeps its own team, its own targets and its own board. We want to see clearly which parts are working and which parts need help.
We run what we own
When we back a business we take a seat at the table. That means we also take the difficult calls that come with it.
Our money is patient
The sectors we chose take years to build. We plan for that, and we tell our partners the same thing before they join us.
Good people first
A strong team will rescue an average plan. We have never seen it work the other way round.
What we stand for
Our core values.
Five commitments every person in the Group is asked to keep, from the rider on a delivery round to the board.
01
Integrity
Do the right thing, even when no one watches.
02
Accountability
Own your outcomes and results.
03
Innovation
Challenge the old ways with curiosity and fresh ideas.
04
Teamwork
Support your coworkers to reach shared goals.
05
Customer Focus
Put the needs of the user or buyer first.
