Ignitius Investments: News

A new home online, and our 2026 company profile

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT

The group's new website brings our seven verticals, twelve active mandates, subsidiaries and strategic partners together in one place. The 2026 company profile is available to download from every page.

Ignitius Investments was established in 2012 and restructured in 2025 with new directorship and a sharper focus on seven growth verticals. The website follows that structure: what we do, the mandates we carry, the companies we hold and back, and how every mandate is governed and delivered.

Project news from the group and its subsidiaries, Tidnic IT, SASTA Consulting, Aide Mémoire Jazz and Lemon Clique, will be published here and in our RSS feed.
