MJM Investments was founded with a clear purpose: to support strong businesses at a turning point - whether that’s growth, succession, or a fresh start.
We invest in recruitment firms and traditional service businesses that are ready for the next chapter. Some need capital and hands-on expertise to scale. Others are owner-led companies where the founder is ready to exit, but wants to protect the culture and legacy they’ve built.
We’ve spent decades building and running businesses ourselves - across the UK and globally. That experience means we understand your challenges, speak your language, and bring more than money to the table. When we invest, we bring operational insight, strategic clarity, and a genuine partnership approach.
Because we’re not here to flip businesses - we’re here to build them.
We invest in relationships, not just returns. Whether it’s a founder stepping back or a team ready to grow, we look beyond spreadsheets and focus on the people driving the business. Trust, culture, and shared ambition matter - because businesses only thrive when people do.
We back businesses that do meaningful work - not those chasing inflated valuations or buzz. If you're solving real problems, serving loyal customers, and building something with staying power, we're interested. We believe in value that’s tangible, not theoretical.
We're not in this for a fast exit. We take a steady, strategic approach - building businesses that are resilient, relevant, and ready for the future. That means thoughtful growth, solid foundations, and decisions that still make sense five years from now.
Specialist recruitment businesses with a clear market focus, established client relationships, and untapped growth potential. These are often regional or sector-specific agencies with a reputation for consistent delivery and room to expand.
Established firms in construction, trades, or engineering where the current owner is looking to exit or bring in support to scale. Typically hands-on businesses with solid operational foundations and long-standing customer bases.
Companies offering essential services - from logistics and maintenance to fabrication and technical support - that are ready to modernise operations, diversify offerings, or build on their current stability to reach the next stage.
“I’ve spent my career in recruitment & operations, seeing what drives real success and what quietly holds it back. I’ve worked with great founders, built strong teams, & learned that solid foundations & smart decisions matter.
MJM backs those kinds of businesses and the people behind them.”
— Adrian Mansfield, Founder
