Hewitt Group
Hewitt Group Inc. was formed in late 2017 after the sale of Hewitt Equipment Limited. Jim Hewitt, who had led the Caterpillar dealership since 1983, and his son Stephen David Hewitt established the office to continue active investment in the region. The firm pursues direct private equity, co-investments, distressed situations, real estate and public-market allocations. It targets buyout, growth and startup stages. Geographic reach covers North America and Europe with emphasis on Eastern Canada. No specific portfolio companies are publicly named. Team size is not disclosed. The office maintains the Hewitt Foundation as an adjacent philanthropic vehicle. In December 2025 Jim Hewitt was named to the Order of Canada. Additional offices beyond Dorval are not reported. The structure reflects a direct transition from a single operating business into a multi-family platform. Governance integrates family principals with external advisors on the investment committee and advisory board.
