GuidingLight
Investments

Guidinglight Investments invests in a diverse range of assets from traditional investments such as listed equity and debt, to more specialist and thematic investments such as renewable energy, property, private equity and venture capital.

An area we are looking to deepen our involvement in is private direct investments (debt and equity): we are looking for opportunities to invest in passionate entrepreneurs and businesses enabling them to realise their potential.

We like to get to know those driving the investments and companies we partner with, to ensure the correct fit and that expectations, both ours and yours are aligned.

 

We are careful who we partner with, but passionate when we do. We are looking to help grow and build great businesses so take a long term view.

 

We are happy to consider both equity and debt investments in UK firms across a range of sectors. Below is an example of some of the direct investments we have made recently and continue to support.

Property

In 2023 we completed the purchase of 23 & 35 Gas Street (and adjacent multistorey car park) in central Birmingham.

 

22 Gas Street is a modern multi tenanted office building (c50,000 sft) arranged around a central glazed atrium over ground and two upper floors. Carl Zeiss and ITV are the anchor tenants, with the building originally purpose built exclusively for ITV who still produce the local news from here.


A stone’s throw from Brindley place and Birmingham’s burgeoning financial hub (HSBC retail bank HQ, PWC, Goldman Sachs etc) we see this property benefitting from the city’s substantial investment over the last decade.

 

Under our ownership we plan to invest in the building, making it an even more efficient and sustainable building for its occupants.
