Preserving the legacy of an incredible business

Andy Morrow and Will Morrow are the co-founders of George Road Partners - a private investment firm backed by our personal assets and those of high-net-worth investors. We founded George Road Partners to buy and build businesses the right way - where employees are treated with respect and provided opportunities to grow, where sellers know that their legacy will be preserved and protected, and where we collectively are investing and building for the long-term.

Our core values are inspired by our family and inform how we think about buying and building businesses…

Why George Road Partners?

We Prioritize People

Our goal is to buy and build a business that we can be proud of and that treats team members, customers, and suppliers with dignity and respect. We pledge to take care of your employees and to provide a growth-oriented work environment that lifts everyone up.

We Are Operators

We are not just investors, but the incoming full-time managers of your company. When you sell to private equity, strategic buyers, or holding companies, the people you are dealing with during the sale process will almost always not be the ones running your company post-close. We will be and are committed to earning your trust and respect and that of your employees.

We Hold For The Long Term

Unlike Private Equity which plans to hold investments for 4-6 years, we take a long-term perspective and are thankful that our financial partners do as well. That means we have no requirement to sell and are focused on growing a business the right way with conservative capital structures and a commitment to long-term relationships.

We Are Backed by KTDR Capital Partners

We are thankful to be fully supported by leading operators and investors as an affiliate of KTDR Capital Partners. We benefit from their mentorship and committed capital that differentiates us with respect to certainty of close, transaction flexibility, ability to move quickly, and strategic advice.

Behind our name

The name George Road Partners plays homage to both a place and a person.

The greatest gift our parents provided us was a loving and stable home – one that happens to be on George Road and has been our home for over three decades. We seek to provide the same sense of long-term stability to our team members, customers, and partners as our family home has provided to us.

The “George” in George Road also honors our grandfather who emigrated from Ireland with his family and reminds us of where we come from and the values of humility, hard work, and hope that he and so many of the others who moved to America in search of a better life have embodied.
