Founded in 1975 by Sir Peter Rigby, Rigby Group has been at the forefront of transformative change in technology, philanthropy, and sustainable business practices for half a century. Today it is a third-generation family business and Europe’s largest private investor in technology. It is a top ten wholly-owned UK family business and in the top 500 globally.

Our portfolio is diverse but at our heart we are a technology-focused business built on our founder’s values of working hard, foresight, and enabling others. We shape industries and contribute to communities for the long term.

The mission of Rigby Group is to balance sustainability and profit in the pursuit of technological innovation, and to deliver long-term benefits for our stakeholders and communities. Everything we do is founded on the belief that cutting-edge innovation, traditional values, and vigorous philanthropy can be harnessed to create a sustainable future – financial, social, environmental and governance.

Rigby Group has built many market-leading companies, not simply through investments and acquisitions but by enabling businesses to realise their full potential by giving them the resources, management and scale they need. Though our portfolio spans airports, commercial, hotels, and residential assets, our strong technology focus continues. IT solutions pioneer SCC remains the cornerstone of Rigby Group’s business, and the recent establishment of dedicated technology investment arm Rigby Technology Investments (RTI), positions tech firmly at the heart of our future strategy.

We are committed to scaling-up our social and environmental initiatives as we grow. The Rigby Foundation embodies the family’s determination to contribute to the communities of which we are a part, and Rigby Group currently pledges funds to the Foundation to support worthy causes.

“Investment is essential to a healthy future. We are firmly committed to investing in our business, our people and new technologies for strategic and sustainable growth.”

Sir Peter Rigby, Chairman and Founder
