Martin Gabriel Holdings
Partners
A private holding company. We own and build businesses for the long term.
Registered in England
A private company, built to hold.
Martin Gabriel Holdings is the group’s holding entity. It owns and builds operating businesses, and it takes a long view: we are not buyers and sellers of companies, but builders of them.
Its strategic mandate has three strands: growth in mergers and acquisitions, growth in software sold as a service, and growth of the group’s own equity portfolio.
The group is four firms. Our consultancy firm advises investors and the companies they invest in. Where it identifies a gap or a need, our technology firm builds, implements, hosts and tests the technology that meets it.
Our technology firm builds in four places: for the companies our consultancy advises, for external customers who engage and pay for the work, for our system portfolio firm, and for equity. Equity taken in return for a build is held by Martin Gabriel Holdings.
Our system portfolio firm owns and manages the systems, and holds the group’s registration with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Today the group holds companies in marketing, regulatory, automotive, gaming, and mergers and acquisitions.
The group is privately held and independently funded. It carries no external investors. That independence is deliberate - it means our businesses answer to their customers and their people, and to nobody else.

Equity
Held in the firms we have enabled by building, deploying and managing their technology.
- Our consultancy firm
- Our technology firm

A team of executive-level, multiple-sector, globally experienced professionals who have executed their specialisms against niche and at-scale mandates across Financial Services, Government, Private Equity, National Security, Tier-1 consulting, Technology, and Supply-chain sectors.
Our compass does not move.
The Group holds the family name, and is built on what a family teaches: that strength comes from doing things properly and standing by them.
We hold to traditional ethics. Keep your word. Deal plainly. Enable and support.
We build businesses that make people stronger: real terms, honest expectations, and a genuine share in what they create. Empowerment is not a sentiment here; it is written into how our companies are structured.
The technology, without the outlay.
Our technology firm builds systems for small and medium-sized companies in return for a share of the business rather than a fee for the work.
The share is held by Martin Gabriel Holdings. The outlay that normally falls due before a company has a single customer does not fall due at all. A firm that would otherwise spend its first year raising money for software spends it trading instead.
It also settles whose interests are whose. The work is paid for in equity rather than fees, so our return arrives only if the company is worth something later. The system, and what it earns you, is the whole of that return rather than a deliverable we hand over and walk away from.
The system, built and taken to market
Designed, built and launched by our technology firm, which builds systems and owns none of its own. It has no product of its own to steer you towards.
Maintenance until there is revenue
Kept running and kept current at no cost while the company is pre-revenue. Reaching the market is the point, and a maintenance bill that arrives before the first customer defeats it.
Judgement, as the company grows
A seasoned corporate specialist available to the people running the company: more of them while something is being decided, less while it is being executed. Not a fixed engagement, and not billed by the hour.
If you are running a small or medium-sized company and want an initial conversation, the enquiry form below reaches us directly. There is nothing to prepare.
Our approach.
Ownership without a timetable
We buy and build to hold, and we work to no exit date. Where selling our share becomes the right thing for a company, we will sell it. What we will not do is buy a business with its sale already planned.
Time before capital
We provide time and judgement more often than money. Where capital is needed it comes from the group’s own resources, and so carries no date by which it must be returned.
Operational independence
We respect the autonomy of management teams, intervening only to provide guidance on major strategic decisions.
