Downing Partners

At Downing, we believe a great investment opportunity isn’t just financial, it’s a chance to invest in things that matter – our environment, our health, our society, our local communities and our economy. We were founded in 1986 and we’ve been working this way ever since. We’re privately owned which helps us act quickly and stay nimble.

Over 25,000 investors trust Downing with over £1 billion of their assets, invested into businesses that make a difference, including renewable energy, care homes, health clubs and children’s nurseries.

Here at Downing, we like to work with talented people who aren’t just looking for a job but who want to shape their future and have a positive impact on those around them.

We look out and endeavour to do the best we can for each other and our investment community, and we look for like-minded people to help us deliver our vision.

We put our staff at the heart of everything we do and we want to attract, retain and motivate the right people with the right skills and the right attitude.
