In the press
“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”.
“The investment from Middleton Enterprises was critical to continuing our business growth. They have fantastic ideas for the business, are always in hand to help from a strategic point of view, and other than myself, no one knows the business better than them.
Middleton Enterprises 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”.
“Middleton Enterprises’s investment turbo charged our business. Instead of being a regional player, we’ve ended up being a national player. But it’s not just money they provide, its expertise, and they’re always on the other end of the phone to bounce around ideas”.
“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”.
