North Holdings Group · London
Industrial services, logistics and finance, built to last.
We own and grow essential businesses across northern Europe: the companies that keep process plants running, freight moving and mid-sized manufacturers financed.
Who we are
A holding company built for the long term
North Holdings Group is a London-based holding company with operating businesses in industrial maintenance, bulk logistics and specialised finance. We invest for decades rather than quarters, in the unglamorous infrastructure that keeps European industry running.
Founded in 1998 and still majority-owned by its founding partners, the group employs around 2,400 people across the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Revenue for the year to 31 March 2026 was £1.14 billion.
What we do
Three divisions, one balance sheet
Each division is run by its own management team, with capital, treasury and governance provided at group level. That structure keeps decisions close to the customer and the balance sheet strong enough to fund them.
01
North Industrial
Planned and reactive maintenance for process plants, utilities and district heating networks. Around 1,400 engineers across 21 depots and 34 customer sites.
02
North Logistics
Bulk and palletised freight by road, rail and short sea, with 480 vehicles and terminals at Tilbury, Rotterdam, Duisburg and Antwerp.
03
North Capital
Asset-backed lending and equipment finance for manufacturers, with a loan book of £421 million and a nineteen-year average holding period.
