Storr Group

Chairman, Founder, and CEO Fraser Ramseyer drives strategy and execution. He is supported by a team that includes Managing Director Lucas Dorrell, who leads business development, and Vice Presidents Michael Thomas, Bennett Leveillee, and Mariana Repsold, who focus on deal execution and thesis generation. The firm also leans on an advisory board that includes Scott Malpass, the former CIO of the University of Notre Dame.

Storr sources opportunities by focusing on fragmented essential-services markets and leveraging an in-house business development team led by Lucas Dorrell, who alone led more than 50 acquisitions in two years at the firm's SPS PoolCare platform. The firm's network of deeply experienced operating partners, many with decades in home services, also generates proprietary origination through industry relationships.

Storr targets lower-middle-market platform investments in essential services. It does not operate as a venture capital firm. The strategy is classic buy-and-build: acquire a strong platform, then aggressively pursue add-on acquisitions to scale — the firm reports completing over 130 add-on acquisitions across its portfolio.

Storr operates as an operationally focused investment firm, making direct platform investments and add-on acquisitions. The firm's CFO and CCO, Richard Moran, has experience overseeing SEC-registered investment advisers and fund launches, but Storr's public materials do not specify whether it raises discretionary commingled funds or relies on deal-by-deal capital.

Storr's public materials describe a focus on essential services with strong tailwinds — specifically naming HVAC, plumbing, pest control, landscaping, lawn care, and termite control. There is no mention of technology startups, life sciences, financial services, or any sector outside high-touch residential and commercial services, suggesting a deliberately narrow mandate.

SPS PoolCare is Storr Group's Platform I, a pool-service company built through intensive M&A. Storr's founder also founded SPS PoolCare, and much of the firm's early track record — including over 50 acquisitions in two years — was generated within this single platform. Several Storr team members, including Anne Fielding and Lance Martin, have direct operational roles at SPS PoolCare.

The firm publicly positions itself as an active, hands-on acquirer that integrates platforms with its own operating executives and functional experts. It has not disclosed a practice of co-investing as a minority partner alongside third-party general partners, appearing instead to lead its own buy-and-build strategies.
