We’re an independent acquirer of UK SMEs with strong growth potential. We actively seek businesses that align with our strategic vision and complement our existing portfolio.
Drawing on deep operational experience across manufacturing, facilities management, property, and logistics, we partner with business owners looking for the right exit opportunity. Our hands-on approach combines proven competitive strategy, cutting-edge technology, and operational resilience to drive exponential growth post-acquisition.

We seek well-established manufacturing businesses with strong market positions and growth potential. Our interest spans precision engineering, industrial components, specialized equipment, and custom fabrication. We look for companies with talented management teams, defensible market positions, and opportunities to enhance value through technological integration, operational improvements, and market expansion.

Our focus in this sector is on companies providing comprehensive facilities solutions, from maintenance and security to catering and workplace management. We target businesses with recurring revenue models, strong client relationships, and opportunities to implement technological innovations or service expansions. We value organizations demonstrating operational excellence and scalable service delivery models.

We invest in property service companies and property-adjacent businesses with stable cash flows and growth opportunities. This includes property management firms, specialised real estate services, and businesses with strong property portfolios. We seek companies where our expertise can drive portfolio optimisation, service enhancement, or technological advancement.

In this rapidly evolving sector, we target companies with established operations in transportation, warehousing, distribution, and supply chain management. We look for businesses demonstrating operational efficiency, strategic locations, specialized capabilities, or technological advantages. Our expertise can help these companies scale operations, enhance technology infrastructure, and expand service offerings.
At our core, we believe in creating partnerships that honour the journeys of business founders while strategically expanding our presence across manufacturing, facilities management, property, and logistics sectors. We actively seek businesses that align with and enhance our existing operations, creating synergies that benefit all parties. We specialise in crafting clever, bespoke deal structures that ensure business owners receive full value for the enterprises they’ve spent years nurturing.
Every business has a unique story, and we take pride in recognizing the hard work, vision, and perseverance that built it. When identifying acquisition opportunities, we look for well-established companies that not only demonstrate excellence in their field but also offer strategic value to our growing portfolio.
Our name, Themba, means “hope” in several South African languages, reflecting our strong ties to South Africa and our belief that business should be a force for positive change. We are committed to creating opportunities not just for the companies we acquire, but for communities in need. Through our partnerships with South African charities, we actively support initiatives that lift people from poverty through education, entrepreneurship, and employment opportunities.
We measure our success by how well we serve all stakeholders—ensuring exiting owners feel properly rewarded, employees find new opportunities for growth, and communities benefit from sustainable business practices. This approach guides our acquisition strategy, focusing on well-run, successful businesses where we can add value while respecting the foundations already built.

“Our business is anchored in the belief that success without purpose is empty—that’s why we’ve forged partnerships with grassroots charities across South Africa, making social impact as fundamental to our operations as profit.”
Every conversation has potential—we’re open to discussing all opportunities, as sometimes the most rewarding partnerships begin in unexpected places. If you’d like to explore possibilities with our team, please leave us a message or contact us using the details below.
