Longbow was formed by Chris and Daniel Hayes to offer more than just capital to companies and business ideas that show potential.

Its aim is to become recognised as the premier East Midlands-based group of like-minded successful entrepreneurs who share knowledge, skills and experience to benefit enterprise and the community, and is aimed at high-net worth individuals who are looking to make more informed decisions on investment opportunities that are in addition to existing portfolios and pension funds.

Paul said: “I was attracted to Longbow because of its ethos of being more than merely a group of investors.

“It regards people, planet and profit as paramount; this is an inspiring ethos and I look forward to being part of a successful group.”
