At Elaghmore, we focus on small to mid-cap industrial companies headquartered in the UK, a segment where we see the greatest opportunity to create value. Even as we grow and raise new finance, we will continue to target this part of the market. We look for four key qualities in the companies we back: - First and foremost we are looking for good management teams we can work closely with to strategically develop and grow the business they run. - Secondly, we seek opportunities to use our own proven operational skills and extensive network of contacts to boost the organic growth of the business. Organic growth, accounts for the vast proportion of the value we create and typically we would be aiming to double top-line revenues within a 3 to 5 year period. - Thirdly, and crucially, we are looking for businesses that have a point of clear differentiation, whether that is a market leading position or a unique product or service that offers them a real competitive edge. - Finally, for companies working in highly fragmented markets we will look actively to make carefully chosen bolt-on acquisitions to strengthen the company’s position in the market or enhance its product offering.
