RideTandem provides flexible, reliable, tech-enabled shuttle bus services to and from businesses, schools and universities.
Our shuttle bus services run in areas across the UK that are hard to get to.
Large organisations, such as Next, Lidl and Royal Mail, rely on RideTandem’s shuttle services to transport their staff.
Passengers book tickets via an app then track their bus as it heads to their stop and scan on board with their QR code ticket.
Businesses can see who has booked onto each service and track the vehicle in real time. They also get reports to show the amount of carbon emissions they are using.

London based Long / Short Equity Fund investing solely in the Media sector with Global coverage.
Investment Philosophy
Managers believe that the diversity and complexity of the media sector lends itself to a sector-specialist approach:
The media industry comprises numerous ecosystems and sub-sectors, with diversified drivers and fundamentals. The ecosystems can be broad (i.e. video content and distribution, including measurement) to narrow (scientific publishing). In addition, within the media stock universe, there are a significant number of idiosyncratic names (e.g. Google, Facebook, Netflix, IMAX) that lend themselves to highly focused analysis.
A focus on understanding industry fundamentals, with an emphasis on bottom-up analysis:
The Managers relationship with many media companies spans over 25 years, often encompassing every CEO and CFO in a company’s history. In addition to frequent meetings with management the team regularly attends industry conferences and has the benefit of a wide network of industry contacts. Meetings will include companies outside of mainstream media, including end users: e.g. recruitment specialists that use LinkedIn, estate agents that use Zillow, insurance companies that use risk management models and tools.
A medium to long-term investment horizon:
The Manager’s focus is on identifying catalysts, such as a change in consensus growth expectations, that will lead to a change in the relative valuation of sub-sectors and stocks. Many of these catalysts are expected to play out over time, leading to a medium/long term investment focus. This is reflected in an average portfolio turnover of approximately 12 months. The Managers are happy to hold long positions for multi-year periods if they believe a company can produce attractive compound growth, though the position may be actively traded during this period.
