From the Janchor website: We believe in winning holistically, with Janchor, the company and broader community all coming out ahead. We later called this our “Industrialist Investor” mindset.By “Industrialist”, we mean strategic, long-term and purpose-driven: a successful Industrialist requires clear vision, sharp intelligence and emotional empathy to help companies deliver and execute. An Industrialist also needs an aligned and consistent organizational culture to achieve sustained performance.Being an “Investor” allows us to join the company’s community of stakeholders, working to help our investee companies win by searching for positive potential, engaging them as partners and working with them to unlock even greater value. We work to bridge the worlds of capital markets and business enterprise.
Also from their website after the fluffy pr stuff:
Baby Food and Formula Company
Janchor stepped in to help the turnaround journey of Australia-based baby-food producer Bellamy’s Organic in 2017. The company, then known as Bellamy’s Australia, was facing a difficult transition when Janchor became a substantial shareholder. In April 2017, John Ho joined the Board and became Chairman, guiding initiatives that included setting the company’s strategy and capital structure, bringing in new Board members, retaining members of management and fixing the incentive and remuneration structure. The company was successfully acquired by China’s Mengniu Dairy Group in 2020.
Australian Telecommunications Company
Janchor helped with the turnaround and successful sale in 2021 of Vocus Group, an international data network and fibre solutions provider based in Sydney. When we became a shareholder four years earlier, Vocus had begun to falter after merging with another company to become Australia’s fourth-largest telecommunications provider. John Ho joined the Board as Non-Executive Director in early 2018 and helped implement numerous changes, which included replacing the Chairman and CEO, changing the capital allocation and capital structure policies and introducing a new mid and long-term strategy. We laid the groundwork for future business excellence that eventually led to acquisition by a consortium of institutional investors.
Don't sound like the sort of organisation to dump....
