"Guinness Asset Management have been a valued and excellent partner to Blu Wireless through their initial investment and continued support in follow on funding."
Non Exec Chair, Hemant Mardia
"The speed of decision making by Guinness was the part that really stood out for us. Most VCs seem to take an age whereas Malcolm and his colleagues saw the value we represented and were able to commit in a matter of days."
Founder, Charlie Horrell
"I am delighted that Guinness Asset Management chose to invest in MWS. They are engaged, informed, pragmatic and supportive. I was sufficiently impressed by how they interacted with MWS that I chose to invest my own funds with them."
CEO, Richard Alberg
"Guinness have been hugely supportive since we partnered with them. Their approach is founder friendly; always there when we need advice, responsive, highly engaged, and without burdensome reporting processes."
