SPWOne

SPWOne is the single-family office of British serial entrepreneur Sir Peter Wood, founder of Direct Line, esure, and GoCompare. Established in 1998 and headquartered in London, SPWOne invests in and supports a range of innovative, fast-growing businesses across their lifecycle — from early-stage ventures to large-scale acquisitions — with a global reach and a track record of substantial value creation built over nearly four decades. SPWOne is committed to partnering with ambitious entrepreneurs and driving growth through strategic investments and operational support. The firm focuses on disruptive, technology-enabled businesses — particularly in financial services, open finance, and consumer sectors — and is willing to take significant positions, including majority acquisitions via joint ventures (e.g., the £800m+ takeover of Dignity plc alongside Castelnau Group). SPWOne also acts as a strategic advisor to Phoenix Asset Management Partners Limited.
