Backing leadership teams to deliver growth in people-powered businesses

About
Twenty20
Capital

With annual portfolio revenues of more than £1.5bn and our businesses paying more than 75,000 employees every single week, we’re Europe’s largest specialist investor in people-powered businesses – with global presence.

Founded and still led by Tristan Ramus and Ian Munro, we’ve navigated our diverse portfolio of more than 45 businesses through three decades of economic terrain with hands-on support driving growth, financial sustainability and business success.

We’re big enough to take on the biggest challenges and make a success of them, but small enough to guarantee a dynamic, flexible approach on acquisition and exit. Investing our own money means we can be agile, sticking to what we know: people powered businesses, and making decisions with people at the centre.

Responsible investing

We don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach. Not beholden to institutional investors, we look to exit businesses when they’re ready for their next phase and work with leadership teams to agree the right next steps.

Our hands-on leadership ensures businesses are quickly fighting-fit, delivering on their purpose and growing sustainably.

Our Behaviours

How we behave is who we are. As a people-powered business, investing in leaders, our behaviours guide how we make decisions and the people we partner with.

  • Entrepreneurial

    Founded in the spirit of entrepreneurship, and still run that way. Investing more than just money, we see opportunity in every new challenge.

  • Responsible

    We work at pace, but we make decisions in the round. Keeping the best interests of people, customers, our businesses and the planet in mind at every stage.

  • Ambitious

    We’re bold in our decision making, but ambitious for outcomes: driving change and growth to achieve results.

  • Dynamic

    We have a positive attitude, turning challenges into opportunities and taking a flexible approach to drive a positive outcome for everyone.

  • Aspirational

    We aspire beyond financial return: making the right decisions so that leaders and businesses can be the best they can be – and continue aspiring to better.

  • Collaborative

    We work with leadership teams, as active and accountable partners, sharing in success and learning together.

delivering climate & social action

We consider environmental, social and governance factors at each stage of the investment cycle, as part of our commitment to creating long-term and sustainable value. We’re committed to delivering on our responsibilities in the fight against climate change. Our portfolio is decarbonising the way it operates, reducing our overcall environmental impact and achieving net zero by 2030.

  • Each of our portfolio businesses publishes an annual carbon reduction plan – and results of its existing efforts.
  • Our portfolio is weighted towards health, care and education where social value delivery is business as usual.
  • We’re active and responsible investors, driving workplace improvement and economic growth.
