Member & Angel Investor
Jan 2019
Supporting, training, funding and investing smart money in SME businesses through a national Angel network.
angelgroups consists of a number of distinctly separate groups, who all share the same angel-funding platform across the North of England. The technology allows the individuals to syndicate within their own group, or communicate to other members/groups through the platform. Whilst this scale makes us truly unique, bringing benefits to individual angels as well as businesses looking for funding, it is our ability to blend other funding into the solution that truly distinguishes us from other platforms.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us, we would love to hear from you. If you drop us an email at info@angelgroups.co.uk and we will respond shortly.

Blackfriars Retail Capital Partners is a UK-based investment and operating firm dedicated to revitalising and consolidating British retail brands.
We are principal-led: we invest our own capital, lead transactions directly, and take a hands-on role in operations. Our mission is to transform underperforming or overlooked retail businesses into thriving, future-ready companies.
The UK retail landscape is at an inflection point. Many heritage brands – once household names – have struggled under the weight of misaligned strategies, foreign ownership, or debt-driven structures. At the same time, global investors are retreating, creating an unprecedented opportunity to rebuild value, preserve jobs, and return iconic brands to growth.
At Blackfriars, we combine decades of experience in:
M&A and Turnaround – restructuring balance sheets, simplifying operations, and unlocking sustainable profitability.
Retail Operations – deep expertise in jewellery, fashion, and consumer sectors, with proven track records in scaling and exits.
Digital Transformation – re-positioning brands for modern consumers, from omni-channel strategies to data-driven decision making.
Cross-Border Capital Raising – extensive networks across the UK, Europe, and US to finance acquisitions and long-term growth.
We believe the next decade belongs to operators, not absentee owners. Our approach is to partner with management teams, employees, and stakeholders to rebuild trust and deliver lasting value.
Whether through the consolidation of fragmented sectors, the turnaround of distressed assets, or the stewardship of heritage brands in need of renewal, Blackfriars is committed to being a catalyst for British retail’s revival.
📌 What We Do: Acquire. Consolidate. Revitalise.
📌 Who We Serve: Investors, administrators, parent companies, and communities seeking sustainable outcomes.
📌 Why It Matters: Because every brand carries jobs, heritage, and untapped potential.
