With growth capital and scaleup support from our team, Braidwater successfully transformed from a small-scale construction business into one of Northern Ireland’s leading housebuilders, now operating across the region. And in 2019, it merged with sister company BW Homes & Construction, to create Braidwater Group – diversifying its offering, and entering the social and affordable housing market.
During our decade-long partnership, the company’s turnover grew more than 10 times (from £4 million in 2015 to £45 million in 2024).
We provided two follow-on investments in this time, enabling the family-owned business to scale its operations and pursue strategic expansion. Our funding was instrumental in helping Braidwater grow its land bank, build out its management team, and expand its footprint across the entirety of Northern Ireland.
In 2025, we successfully exited our investment in Braidwater, after 10 years of sustained growth. The business decided to buyback equity, ensuring it remains a family-run enterprise for the future – something that was always very important to the team.
