The Kingsbury Group

The Kingsbury Group is a UK-based holding company headquartered in Swinton, Manchester, specialising in building and scaling successful enterprises within the property, facilities management, and proptech sectors. Founded in 2014, Kingsbury operates as a long-term investor and strategic partner to multiple portfolio companies, each addressing specific pain points in commercial property management and business operations. The group is known for identifying market gaps and developing innovative solutions that deliver measurable value to landlords, service providers, and business owners across the UK. Through its portfolio companies—including Verity, which saves clients over £18 million annually on business rates, and Symple, a digital platform connecting landlords with service providers—Kingsbury demonstrates a track record of building efficacious, operationally independent businesses. The group's leadership, including founder and CEO Simon Dresdner (recognised as EMEA Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2015 and EMEA Entrepreneur of the Year in 2017), has established a culture of entrepreneurship and sustainable growth. Kingsbury's approach combines hands-on business development with a commitment to allowing each portfolio company to operate autonomously, creating an environment where innovation and operational excellence can flourish. The holding company serves as a strategic hub for proptech innovation and commercial property solutions in the UK market.
