KHI is a vehicle set up to support the next generation of entrepreneurs — operational, team-focused and diversified across Sport|.
About us
Starting from the Smithfield Meat markets, the Thompson family have built a reputation for building successful businesses across an array of sectors — Premier Foods, Quinta do Lago, Queen's Park Rangers, Leeds United, Fonix and Jaeger among them.
It is now the next generation's turn to continue that reputation. Surrounded by a team of trusted experts, they have founded KHI to identify and support the next portfolio of success stories.

Sport & media
Our principal sector of investment focus. The convergence of sport, content and technology is creating extraordinary opportunity — and KHI is positioned right at the centre of it.
Sports media businesses are of particular interest. We back promoters, platforms, publishers and rights-holders who are reshaping how sport is consumed around the world.
The goal
Our ultimate goal is to create a community of like-minded businesses that share expertise, experience and connections. We are very selective in who we partner with and take a long-term view to returns.
Decades of family heritage, trusted relationships and a deep network built across multiple sectors — from Smithfield to the Premier League.
We sit alongside our partners, providing strategic support, introductions and hands-on operational guidance — not just capital.
We take a long-term view to returns and invest with patience and purpose. Success is measured in the businesses we help build.
