Bradley Lay is the co-founder of Peak Capital Group and a seasoned entrepreneur with a strong track record in finance and construction. He leads a UK-based family office and oversees strategic acquisitions across the UK and EU construction sectors.
Bradley began his career at Morgan Stanley before joining a £12 million turnover construction company, where he served as Group CFO. Under his financial leadership, the business scaled to over £150 million in revenue and achieved a successful exit. This hands-on experience gave Bradley a deep understanding of what drives business growth: systems, leadership, and capital – not just hard work.
Bradley founded Peak Capital Group to offer business owners a clear, structured pathway to a full and profitable exit. His mission is to help owners realise the full value of their companies through 100% acquisitions that prioritise simplicity, confidentiality, and integrity.
At Peak Capital, he focuses on acquiring well-established, profitable businesses with:
- £10M+ in annual revenue
- £1M+ EBITDA
- Strong reputations and loyal customer bases
- Owner-led teams preparing for their next chapter
Having successfully scaled and exited businesses himself, Bradley understands the intricacies of both sides of the deal table. This unique perspective allows him to make the acquisition process efficient and mutually beneficial – offering owners freedom, legacy, and liquidity while securing exceptional businesses for Peak Capital’s growing portfolio.
Bradley is known for moving decisively -often completing acquisitions in under 30 days – and for avoiding the bureaucracy that slows down traditional trade buyers or private equity firms.

John is a grass roots entrepreneur having spent his entire career starting, building and selling SME businesses over four decades.
As a business turnaround specialist and investor John has learned to see what most business owners struggle to see. Often this is because they are simply too close to their business to appreciate the resources they actually have.
“Having sold many businesses over the years I’ve been through the process enough times to know it’s not as easy as most believe, especially if the business has not been growing over the past few years!!”
For Business Owners
If you’re considering your exit — whether now or in the next few years — we offer a structured, hands-on model to help you unlock maximum value.
Many of the businesses we acquire were previously on the market but failed to sell.
With Peak Capital, there is a clear, defined path to a successful outcome.
