Overview
We invest for the long term, and we do not invest to sell our businesses on.
The Constantine Group began as a shipping company in Middlesbrough, UK in 1885. Over 130 years later, the company has remained in the same family but, since the middle of last century, has diversified its activity from shipping into a multi-discipline investment company.
Constantine Group focusses its investment activity on businesses and sectors where its operational experience gives it a competitive advantage to assist the long-term growth of its investments.
Constantine Group is run by an experienced team, with investments in Energy, Logistics, and Property. The management team has direct experience in a wide range of sectors, including energy, logistics, property, healthcare, manufacturing, banking, insurance, leisure, and support services.
