Investment and Company Support
Philosophy and Rationale
We work with entrepreneurs and start-ups. Sometimes we make investments. Our primary focus is on organizations operating within the rural economy, but we do work with companies across other sectors particularly younger entrepreneurs who are trying to break their mould.
The rationale is simple and direct. We work with people, products and markets that are reflective of our own beliefs and interests.
Often the situation means that a bold move is required, and this involves a step into the unknown. This is where Beacon can help. With a wide range of experience and a proven track record, Beacon can help to make a step change and to achieve the right result.
Below are three companies we work with, please also go to the “community” pages for links and further information on other interests
The SuperTie Company
Welcome to the necktie revolution. Welcome to SuperTie. If you take pride in your appearance then you’ll love SuperTie neckties. With our bold and exciting range there’s a design for every occasion and you will always look the part. What’s more, you will never again be troubled with the fuss and faff of having to tie your tie. Ideal when you’re in a rush and ideal when you’re not. SuperTie neckties are perfect every time. SuperTie neckwear is built on the magic of PerfecTie Technology: an ingeniously designed zip mechanism housed inside the most immaculate of knots. The zip runs along both sides of the collar, feeding through this mechanism and down the back blade of the tie.
Oyster Eco Build

We create unique buildings using an innovative approach to each project, giving operators the opportunity to install additional accommodation quickly and less expensively than other conventional forms of construction.
Flexpansion Ltd
Flexpansion is an app for Android phones and tablets that expands abbreviations and predicts words as you type. It can reduce the amount of typing needed by up to 70%.
Flexpansion guesses what you’re typing—and what you’re about to type—by recognising patterns of letters and words. Firstly, it will autocomplete words from just the first few letters.
Secondly, its unique ‘turbo mode’ converts ‘txt msg spk’ into its full form. Flexpansion is the only app of its kind that lets you use phonetic shortcuts.
Over time, Flexpansion learns your personal writing style and improves the quality of its suggestions.
