Foresight Group has continued its strong momentum in 2025, completing investments totalling approximately £60 million across the UK and Ireland during the third quarter. The latest round of activity highlights the firm’s sector-agnostic investment strategy and regional focus, helping smaller companies scale and create employment. 

Backing Ambition Across the Regions

From Dundee to Newcastle, Cambridge to London, and Leeds to Cardiff, Foresight has backed a diverse range of innovative companies with national and international growth ambitions. 

The Ventures team completed investments in SenseAI, a University of Liverpool spinout developing compressive sensing technology for electron microscopy, and Spaceflux, a London-based provider of space surveillance technology.

In Scotland, two new Dundee-based investments were announced. Foresight backed MyWay Digital Health, a digital healthcare company spun out from the University of Dundee, and completed an investment in Graham + Sibbald, a chartered surveying and property consultancy founded in 1959. The Graham + Sibbald transaction also supported the bolt-on acquisition of Aitchison Raffety, creating a combined business generating more than £35 million in annual revenue and employing 370 people.

Elsewhere, Foresight backed TEC Electric Motors, a Worcestershire-based distributor of low-voltage electric motors; Little Journey, a Leeds-based healthcare technology company whose digital platform is now deployed in 49 NHS hospitals; and Aircards, a Newcastle-based immersive technology services business.

Through the Investment Fund for Wales, Foresight also completed an investment in Bots for That, an automation software company enabling accountants to streamline operations and scale efficiently.

Investing Across Sectors

One of the defining features of Foresight’s Q3 activity is its diversity. The firm’s sector-agnostic approach enables it to identify and support the best opportunities regardless of industry, building a resilient and balanced portfolio that captures growth potential across the economy. 

From the digital health solutions developed by MyWay Digital Health and Little Journey to the professional services expertise of Graham + Sibbald and the immersive marketing experiences delivered by Aircards, the new additions to Foresight’s portfolio reflect both the innovation and regional vibrancy found across the UK and Ireland.

Looking Ahead

Earlier this year, Foresight announced its ambition to invest over £1 billion in long-term, patient capital over the next five years to support small and growing businesses across the UK and Ireland.

The past quarter demonstrates the breadth of opportunity within regional economies – from cutting-edge university spinouts to well-established firms with strong local roots.

As Foresight continues to deploy capital, its focus remains centred on three guiding principles: Invest, Build, and Grow.

“Our investment activity this quarter demonstrates the strength of opportunity across the UK’s regions,” said Claire Alvarez, Partner. “By backing ambitious management teams in diverse sectors, we’re helping to build resilient businesses that create jobs, foster innovation, and drive long-term economic growth.” 

Foresight looks forward to continuing to partner with exceptional founders and management teams in the months ahead.
