Welcome to BIBBY Holdings

“Bibby Holdings has a very clear mission: to build future divisions for Bibby Line Group. Created in January 2008 with this simple remit, “Holdings” currently has a portfolio as reflected below – this is intentionally diverse. Three of these businesses have been acquired since December 2006 and we remain active in the M&A arena.

Our house style is to encourage entrepreneurship within a best practice corporate governance framework. As such executive management teams retain a high degree of autonomy with Bibby Holdings, or the wider Group, providing non-executives to each subsidiary’s board. In all cases, we require the senior management in our acquisitions to remain ‘in charge’ for the medium term and our creative deal structures reflect this.

What really matters is that we find companies to acquire and invest in that are truly scaleable and that have cultures that are compatible with our own – read more.

We are open-minded about future sectors to invest in (we treat synergy benefits as icing on the cake rather than essential). Our current focus is the broad sustainability sector.”

Cy Green, CEO, Bibby Holdings Ltd
