Richardson Family Office

Richardson Family Office traces its origins to 1948 when Roy Richardson and Don Richardson launched the family trading business in the West Midlands. The office continues under family partners Carl Richardson, Martyn Richardson and Lee Richardson. It preserves capital through disciplined allocation across private markets and real assets. Investment activity centers on growth equity and real estate. The firm commits to direct co-investments and SPVs in Mobility & Transportation, FinTech, AgriTech & FoodTech, PropTech and Robotics & Automation. Confirmed holdings include the largest avocado grower in New Zealand, an award-winning Swiss technology company, a US automated car wash operator and a UK financial services business. Real estate assets span Merry Hill Shopping Centre in Dudley, First Street Manchester, Tower Works in Leeds, Milburngate in Durham, Star City in Birmingham and Fort Retail Park in Birmingham, plus a logistics portfolio in the United Kingdom and a commercial property in Munich. Geographic reach covers Europe, North America, Oceania and Asia. The office employs no disclosed headcount figure. It maintains a London office at 1 Albemarle Street in Mayfair alongside the Oldbury headquarters. Adjacent vehicles include The Richardson Brothers Foundation for charitable distributions. Paul Faulkner, Chief of Staff, participates in the Centre for the New Midlands professional network. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in public records. The firm’s structure separates the core investment mandate from its philanthropic arm. Direct ownership of operating businesses and real estate assets creates a hybrid posture that blends principal investing with long-term asset stewardship across four continents.
