A family office unlike most
Since our first major investment in 2012, Celeres has done things differently. Despite being a family office, we have a hands-on investment philosophy that demonstrates our commitment to adding value beyond mere capital.
In a competitive landscape where many investors simply provide funds, our commitment to being an active partner makes all the difference. Our team of seasoned operators and ex-private equity strategists delivers operational expertise, market insight and unwavering guidance. No matter how granular the issue, Celeres and the team are available to solve it – drawing on our deep experience in scaling businesses to successful outcomes.
“From the early days of bringing Wingstop to the UK, Celeres has been a straightforward and committed partner. They’ve supported us through every critical phase – from initial market entry to nationwide scaling – always providing clear, strategic guidance when it matters most.”Tom Grogan, Co-founder & Director, Wingstop UK
When we commit, we commit
Our investment approach at Celeres is distinct. We invest directly into businesses that have demonstrated early market traction in areas we know well and are able to add value. Additionally, we invest strategically into partner funds where we have aligned goals.
Once we’re in, we are committed. Our focus is on achieving a successful outcome for every investment. When we see conviction play out, we don’t hesitate to double- or even triple-down with our capital and time.
Capital & conviction

We believe great companies deserve more than just a cheque. So we invest our time and capital in businesses that show early market traction and deep customer understanding.
