Middleton Enterprises is the family office investment firm of Jeremy Middleton CBE, co-founder of HomeServe (exited in 2023 for £4.1bn). The firm's mandate is to provide long-term patient capital to ambitious founders, along with the strategic blueprint and operational expertise required to succeed. Its growth capital portfolio targets early-stage, commercially proven and profitable UK businesses with annual EBITDA of £250k–£1m, revenues of £2m–£10m, and plans to reach £5m–£10m profit — sector agnostic but focused on simple, scalable business propositions. Alongside its growth capital strategy, Middleton Enterprises runs a concentrated high-conviction listed equities portfolio and maintains a legacy venture capital portfolio focused on early-stage B2B SaaS and Fintech companies. The firm takes minority stakes, invests for the long term, and brings more than capital to the table — guaranteeing commitment, contacts, and operational expertise to help founders scale.

“Middleton Enterprises invests in high growth, disruptive technology businesses. Whether this be a start-up software company in Newcastle or a global tech business which is listed on NASDAQ. We back innovative companies, with entrepreneurial management teams. When we find a great investment then we aim to hold and let it compound over the very long term.”
“We invest in people first, ideas second.”
