PORTFOLIO
THE FIRM
We Buy Exceptional Companies And Grow Them for the Long Term
ABOUT US
New Mills Scotland Limited is an entrepreneurial private equity firm, run by an operator rather than a fund manager. Its founder, Scott MacDonald, spent twenty years delivering transformation and turnaround work at C-suite level for some of the largest businesses in the UK and internationally. He now buys for his own portfolio, bringing that discipline to companies at SME scale, where it is rarely
available.
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE
We are privately funded, with no limited partners and no fund structure. That lets us work alongside the management teams of the businesses we buy and focus on their long-term health, free of the horizon a fund inevitably imposes. Where speed matters, decisions are made in days rather than weeks. Surplus profits are reinvested into the companies we own or held as permanent capital for the next acquisition.
