Paramount Retail Group

Ravi Sharma, Sunny Sharma, Poonam Sharma, and Chairman Paul Taylor share executive responsibility. Acquisitions are led by Paul Taylor, who is the named contact for new deals per the firm's website. The group does not maintain a separate investment committee — operating-company acquisitions are reviewed by the board of directors, which consists entirely of family executives.

It is a hybrid: the firm describes itself as a family-owned group that manages a portfolio of wholly-owned operating companies alongside an integrated family office and a 12-property commercial real estate vehicle. It does not manage third-party capital or operate as a multi-family office, making it functionally a single-family holding company with an embedded family office.

No. The firm's entire disclosed capital is deployed into 100%-owned operating companies. There is no evidence of any fund commitments, GP stakes, or co-investment activity alongside external managers. Its allocation model is direct corporate ownership, not portfolio diversification across asset managers.

The group frequently uses existing portfolio companies as platforms for add-on deals. In January 2026, portfolio company Saltaire Brewery acquired the Keystone Brewing Group portfolio, consolidating multiple craft-beer brands. This pattern — acquiring a brand, then expanding it through further purchases — is visible across the pet and confectionery divisions as well.

The group concentrates on five consumer-facing sectors: pet care, home interiors, food, drinks, and DIY. All are branded, heritage-focused UK consumer markets. It does not invest in technology, financial services, healthcare, or heavy industry, and has shown no appetite for non-UK operating companies outside its two Asian sites that serve its pet export business.

The firm discloses 12 commercial properties held in a separate investment vehicle alongside its operating divisions. The properties are assumed to be UK-based given the group's geographic footprint, though the firm does not break out the value or locations of individual properties.

No. The group reports annual turnover of £230 million but has never publicly disclosed an AUM, net asset value, or total equity figure. This is consistent with its structure as a private holding company that does not raise external capital — standard AUM metrics do not apply in the same way as they would for a fund manager.
