WELCOME TO TRL INVESTMENTS
ABOUT OUR FIRM
Who We Are
TRL Investments was founded as an Investment business providing both funding and complete back office support and often more importantly, historic business experience, to growing businesses in the UK. Since we began TRL, we’ve invested in and partnered with a number of companies that are now well established in their sectors.
When it comes to investing, there’s no such thing as approaching us too early, or too late. Our partnerships have been in both new starts and well established companies with individuals who are looking to take their business to the next level.

Bricktex
Collaboration Done Well
We were approached by the owners of Bricktex shortly after they had won their first major contract and the reality of running a large scale business had set in. We have helped to set processes and provide cashflow so that Bricktex has been able to thrive and become the leading bricklaying contractor on the south coast of England working for all major homebuilders.
Channer & co
A Terrific Partnership
Our partnership with Channer is more of a hands of process. The Owner of Channer has a solid grip on his client base and processes but wanted the experience and knowledge of a larger board of directors to help manage and provide cashflow as well as ideas and technical advice.
Cardinal Integrated Services
A Union Of Experience
The opportunity to invest in Cardinal came in Mid 2025 when we were approached by the Directors to provide back office and financial support to help evolve the business into new markets.
It is an ideal fit with our investment strategy of supporting businesses within the construction and allied sectors based locally who would benefit from our financial acumen and experience
JCT Group
Mutual Vision
The Directors of JCT approached TRL with a vision of growth in their already well established business. With a partnership of minds in place we are focused on expanding the three aspects already incorporated within JCT of Roofing, Trade Supply and Tool and Machinery Hire. TRL will be assisting with funding in this growth period alongside our team of back office, marketing and IT professionals.
AFC Portchester
A Common Goal
Portchester is the home of TRL Investments and when the opportunity arose to invest in a local club that provides so much to the local community we jumped at the chance.
Today we provide strategic and financial guidance as the club hopes to progress through the Football league structure over the coming years. In addition we are heavily supportive of the clubs expansion plans with 3G pitches being set up to support over 400 teams within this community based club
