Residential Care Group
Specialist children's residential care operator. Ofsted-registered homes, strong local authority relationships, and a sector defined by non-discretionary demand and high barriers to entry.
R2 Management Group acquires and manages commercial assets in sectors defined by non-discretionary demand, strong regulation, and structural supply shortages. Target return: 10% p.a. 12-month secured term.
R2 focuses exclusively on sectors where demand is non-discretionary, supply is structurally constrained, and income generation is underpinned by long-term government-backed contracts.
Our sectors serve needs that cannot be deferred — SEND education, children's residential care, healthcare. Demand exists regardless of economic conditions.
Every investment is secured against income-producing real assets and operating businesses, providing a defined recovery floor.
We work alongside management teams to drive EBITDA growth and operational improvement, not passive capital deployment.
