About
One parent company. Many businesses.
We are owners and operators, not passive investors. Our leadership brings hands-on business experience dating back to 2009, and each business in our group is supported by the capital and structure of the parent company.
We look for businesses with lasting demand, sound fundamentals and clear room to grow. Our first focus is bringing trusted international consumer brands to Canadian customers.
Over time we expect our portfolio to widen into other sectors, guided by the same principles: careful decisions, honest dealings and a commitment to the businesses we hold.
Who we are
Led by three partners.
The group is owned and led by its three partners, who share in every major decision and take a direct role in the businesses we hold.
