October 07, 2025
by a searcher from New York University in London, UK
Hi all,
We at ST3 Group (www.st3.group) are looking to partner with a Searchfunder on one of our upcoming acquisitions in the UK.
We provide deal sourcing, capital raising, acquisition financing, and strategic support (especially around digital transformation) — and we’re looking for someone who can step into an Operating Partner / CEO role, with meaningful equity participation in line with the traditional searchfund model.
We have two strong UK B2B services businesses in the built environment sector in our pipeline — one based in Newcastle, the other in Telford. Both are long-established, profitable companies now facing a generational ownership transition, and in need of new leadership to take them forward.
We’re looking for someone with:
• Operational experience in process-driven businesses
• A strong understanding of, and alignment with, the need for digital transformation
• Ideally, a background in consulting
About ST3 Group:
We are a serial acquirer of UK B2B services SMEs, building a diversified portfolio of high-quality, profitable businesses. We focus on tech- and AI-enablement, bringing traditional SMEs into the digital economy through proprietary and best-in-class third-party solutions. Our leadership team has deep experience across private equity, M&A (£3bn+), digital transformation, and operational scale-ups.
If this sounds like a fit — or you know someone who might be interested — we’d love to connect. Please send your CV and a short note on why this opportunity appeals to you to redacted
Best,
