Investment Overview

Marston Group is the foremost provider of enforcement services in England and Wales. It provides bailiffs and parking enforcement services, primarily for local government and magistrates' courts.

How are we helping?

We initially invested in Drakes, the leading independent firm in the UK civil enforcement market, in 2002. During 2008 Drakes merged with John Marston, a market leader in the enforcement of High Court writs. The combined business was re-named Marston Group and is now the foremost provider of enforcement services in England and Wales.
