A diversified trading group operating across specialist product, services and emerging growth sectors. Since 2014 we have supported many founders and entrepreneurs grow their business, building upon the original principles and culture that helped them succeed in the first place.
TVIG is a registered trading name. Our interests span engineering, technology, professional services and emerging businesses.
TVI Group is focused on building a diversified operating company comprised of businesses led by ambitious individuals. Our mission is to partner with founders who have vision and drive, providing not only investment but also strategic insight and operational expertise to accelerate growth and unlock potential.
Entrepreneurship is often driven by independence and innovation, and achieving sustainable success requires more than enthusiasm alone. It calls for practical experience, strong networks, and reliable resources. TVI Group works alongside business owners to provide these elements, combining support with business expertise to help strengthen operations and encourage growth.
Today, TVI Group includes eleven operating businesses, each retaining its entrepreneurial spirit while benefiting from the support of our central team. This structure allows us to combine the agility of founder-led companies with the stability and scale of a diversified group, creating long-term value for all stakeholders.
“We back people who know their industry deeply, then help them build something that lasts..”
We are selective about the businesses we work with. We look for clear markets, capable leaders and a problem worth solving. When we find the right fit, we commit fully.
“Good financial stewardship isn’t about constraint — it’s about giving businesses the confidence to grow with purpose. At TVIG, we’ve always taken the long view..”
When TVIG acquires or partners with a business, every company that joins our group has access to a central team with deep operational and financial experience — people who have built, fixed and scaled businesses across multiple sectors. This is practical, hands-on and available from day one.
Ed and the finance team work directly alongside every business in the group. From management accounts and financial modelling to year-end audit and credit control, we provide the financial backbone that lets founders focus on growth.
Jon brings a proven track record of working with teams, reviewing current processes and encouraging continuous operational improvements. Jon works alongside the management team to build upon their operational foundations for sustainable growth.
Bruce has spent his career at the highest levels of business advisory — from Arthur Andersen to Deloitte, advising FTSE 100 companies. That experience is available to every business in the group, not just the largest ones.
Being part of TVIG means access to internal and external networks. We make introductions, open conversations and help businesses reach new markets and new heights.
We do not seek to control. The founders and managers who built our businesses continue to run them. Our role is to remove the obstacles, provide the resource and back the leader.
It is about finding a partner who understands what you have built, believes in where it can go, and has the experience and resource to help you get there.
Your brand, your team, your culture — these are yours. We do not impose a corporate template. We invest in what works and support your growth.
The TVIG central team is small, experienced and genuinely involved. When you need help, you speak to people who have done it themselves — not consultants or intermediaries.
Our businesses share knowledge, contacts and experience across the group. These relationships have opened markets, solved problems and created opportunities that none of them could have found alone.
“Our unique model allows us to be responsive and supportive to founder led companies getting to the next level, whilst retaining their culture and brand.”
