“We have been working with Middleton Enterprises for 2 and a half years and in that time, they have provided us with the capital and support to grow from 4 to 12 sites, with more on the way. We have an excellent relationship with James who we work closely with and who provides us with advice when we need it but also gives us the freedom to run the business. There is a mutual relationship of trust between us which has meant that we have been able to focus on growing the business, knowing we have Middleton there for support whenever we need”.
Greg Illsen, Co-Founder, SushiDog
“Middleton Enterprises aren’t just investors - they’re true partners. They challenge us where it counts, back us when it matters, and share our ambition to constantly innovate and stay ahead of industry trends. Their growth capital investment in 2022 accelerated our expansion, enabling us to double our number of sites in just two years and firmly establish OneGym as the regional market leader. We’re proud to have Middleton Enterprises alongside us on this journey, and we’re excited for what we’ll continue to achieve together across the North East and beyond.”
David Pearson, Co-Founder, OneGym
“We have been delighted with our partnership with Middleton Enterprises. Beyond providing capital, they have offered meaningful strategic guidance and thoughtful input during our quarterly board meetings. Jeremy's entrepreneurial success means we can quickly get to the heart of what matters to our business. We are very pleased to be building our next stage of growth with Middleton Enterprises.”
Alice Sagnier, Co-Founder, EverySkin
“I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with Middleton Enterprises. They have not only shown belief in Light Centre’s growth journey, but they also strike the perfect balance between empowering the business and its internal team to operate independently, while being consistently available with advice and support when needed. Their input is always constructive, insightful, and strategically focused. They bring a wider viewpoint, help us make important connections and enrich the business. And they are a really lovely bunch of people to work with!”
Olga Allon, CEO, Light Centre
“Their investment has been instrumental in our business growth. They are always sensible, level-headed, and pragmatic, and genuinely fantastic to work with. They’ve continually helped guide us through the challenging times we’ve had over the last few years”.
Chris Hodgkinson, Group Managing Director of Apex Bridging
“I'll forever be immensely grateful for having had the benefit of your advice and support through the fantastic journey we’ve navigated as a team. I never imagined saying this, but maybe I'll even miss the board meets! Really, your empathies for D-Line have been invaluable, giving a base from which we’ve been able to develop a great business”.
Paul Ruddick, MD, D-Line
“The investment from Middleton Enterprises was critical to continuing our business growth. They have fantastic ideas for the business, are always on hand to help from a strategic point of view, and other than myself, no one knows the business
better than them. They have supported us not just with investment, but also with advice and guidance. Without their support it would have been impossible to continue growing at the trajectory we are on”.
Chris Dawson, Founder of One Utility Bill
“Middleton Enterprises were looking to be a patient investor. They wanted the
founder to maintain control and have a significant role in the growth of the
business moving forward. They ticked all our boxes, and we’re elated we did the deal with them. Honestly, I think they are probably the only people we could have done the deal with”.
