The firm focuses on investing in founder-led, profitable private businesses across various sectors, including retail, property, and technology. West Coast Capital operates with a long-term investment perspective, emphasizing trust and respect in its partnerships. The capital invested is entirely its own, allowing for flexibility and autonomy in decision-making.

The firm's investment strategy is sector-agnostic, with a global reach and an ultra-long-term view. West Coast Capital has a history of investing in a diverse range of industries, including retail, e-commerce, property, data analytics, hospitality, technology, healthcare, consumer goods, financial services, media, telecommunications, energy, transportation, education, and manufacturing. The firm has a track record of supporting businesses at various stages, including growth, late stage, and buyout, with investment sizes ranging from £1 million to £50 million.
West Coast Capital's portfolio includes notable investments such as a significant stake in The Hut Group, a leading e-commerce company, and a partnership in the Winchburgh Village development, a large-scale property project. The firm has also co-invested in Buzzworks, a Scottish hospitality business, and supported the acquisition of The Body Shop out of administration. Through these investments, West Coast Capital continues to support remarkable individuals and businesses, contributing to economic growth and societal progress.
