About Us
Our Story
Based in the heart of Manchester, Tristone Capital is a privately owned buy-build-and-hold investment group acquiring and driving transformational growth of established and profitable lower-middle market companies that deliver positive social impact.
Founded on the principles of Ethical Capitalism, we believe that the role of business is to deliver value to all stakeholders – customers, employees, suppliers, investors and wider society.
We are passionate in the belief that positive commercial returns can, and should, go hand in hand with positive social impact. Capitalism has the power to shape society and act as a powerful catalyst for change.
We look to invest and partner closely with management teams and entrepreneurs that have track records of success and a commitment to quality.
Our speciality is acquiring majority stakes in profitable companies with enterprise values of up to £20 million, with good market share and prospects for growth, led by committed management teams with both strong commercial and operational judgement.
Our decentralised model and long-term investment horizon empowers our businesses to focus on what they do best – delivering outstanding products and services to the clients they serve. We believe that the best decisions are made locally, by those who are closest to the customer.
We focus on sustainable profitability and growth that benefits companies, individuals and society at large.

Based on our Ethical Investment Framework, we are building the largest, privately owned, impact investment group making a real and measurable difference to society.
