A different kind of buyer
Founded by an operator, focused on legacy, people, and patience.
Built for the Long-term
Arundel Capital was founded to take a more thoughtful, patient approach to investing and ownership.
Having built, scaled, and successfully exited a VC-backed business, our founder gained invaluable experience in running a business. However, this journey also revealed the pressures and short-term mindset that often accompany high growth and the pursuit of rapid returns.
Arundel exists to do things differently: acquiring and growing small UK businesses with a focus on people, stability, and legacy.
Our Team
Stuart Sunderland, Founder
Stuart Sunderland is an entrepreneur with experience in global financial markets, having worked in both Singapore and New York. Realizing that life is too short, he left finance to pursue a more fulfilling career as an entrepreneur.
Stuart's early success came from developing high-end residential apartments across the UK. He then built and sold a corporate delivery platform in the food-tech space, which, at the time of sale, employed over 120 people and served more than 250,000 people monthly. The business was acquired by a UK PLC in 2019.
Since then, Stuart has invested in and advised businesses across a range of sectors. With Arundel, he is applying his experience to a more measured approach, focusing on long-term growth and people, rather than speed or scale.
“I want to build something for the long term, using my experience to make decisions at a more thoughtful pace, with a focus on lasting success.'‘
