Exciting New Chapter for Grayton Ltd

A New Partnership

In December 2024 RD Capital Partners (RDCP), a diversified investment group, acquired 80% of the Grayton Group. This partnership marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, bringing additional strength and stability to Grayton, whilst preserving our core values and ethos.

Who are RDCP?

Founded in 2015 by Sameer Rizvi and Iryna Dubylovska, RDCP is a well-established investment group with a current enterprise value of $600 million and a workforce of 2,000 across multiple sectors in the UK. Unlike traditional investment firms, RDCP operates with permanent capital, allowing them to focus on long-term success without the constraints of limited partners or fund structures. Their approach ensures stability and continuous reinvestment into their businesses, making them the perfect partner for Grayton Ltd.

What This Means for Grayton Ltd

• The operational structure of the business will remain unchanged.
• Carl Meale (Managing Director – Operations) and Richard Southee (Managing Director – Engineering) will continue as minority shareholders and directors.
• Peter O’Sullivan and Richard Marshall will take on the roles of joint executive chairmen to support the business through this transition.
• The expertise and financial strength of RDCP will provide new opportunities for growth and development both long and short-term.

Looking Ahead

Grayton’s commitment to excellence remains resolute, and we are confident that this partnership will help strengthen our foundation for long-term expansion, investment and opportunities within the UK and Europe.

Our people are our greatest asset, and we look forward to growing and succeeding together as we continue to Support the Companies that Build Britain.
