For almost four decades, Meridian Group has invested in the companies that keep economies moving: logistics networks, clean energy, homes and the factories that supply them.
We don't buy companies to sell them. We buy good businesses, give them capital and patience, and help them become great.
Meridian began as a single freight company with eleven trucks. Today our four divisions serve more than 30,000 customers, from global retailers to local councils. Each company keeps its own name, leadership and culture, while sharing the group's financial strength, governance standards and purchasing power.
Our approach is simple: invest for decades, not quarters, treat people fairly and leave every community we work in better than we found it.
Each division is led by an experienced management team and reports to the group board, with clear targets for growth, safety and sustainability.
