Colindale Group
Colindale Group traces its roots to 1870 when the Michell family made its first agricultural investment in South Australia. Five generations later the family built G.H. Michell & Sons into a global wool processor and exporter active in Asia, Europe and North America before the office shifted focus to wealth preservation. The office maintains exposure to listed securities, property developments, private equity and natural resources. It has executed projects in student accommodation and hotel renovations in Adelaide and Melbourne. Geographic reach covers Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, Oceania and South America. No specific co-investors or fund commitments appear in public materials. Andy Cosh serves as Managing Director alongside Tim Cosh as Investment Manager Director. The firm operates from a single headquarters in Goodwood with no disclosed additional offices or adjacent philanthropic vehicles beyond limited local scholarships. No operational events from the last 24 months are recorded in available sources. The family maintains parallel structures including Clearwater Investment Co and Kilara Capital, both tied to Andrew Cosh and Claire Cosh, creating a hybrid governance model that separates operating businesses from the core family-office mandate.
