Corporate

SandpiperCI is jointly owned by Independent private equity firm Duke Street and real estate fund management group Europa Capital.

Duke Street has extensive experience in consumer facing companies with offices in London and Paris. It was founded in 1988 and focuses on mid-market, leveraged buy-outs, investing in established UK and French businesses with enterprise values of up to €500 million.

Given the significance of the Group’s property assets, Duke Street innovatively partnered with Europa Capital - the European real estate investment group - to use their expertise to oversee the management of the property portfolio and attain full value of its assets. This will be achieved through a combination of property sales and development.

The Group’s core strategy is to reconfigure the Company around its successful food retailing business. Sandpiper aims to capitalise on its core holdings in the Channel Islands retail market by developing the business through range enhancements and improvements to both customer service and store operations.   A significant programme of capital investment into the stores is also underway.
