Greybull Capital say they "make long term investments in private companies" with a "broad portfolio spanning investments in the energy, technology, retail, industrial and manufacturing sectors in Europe and the United States".
Greybull Capital is run by brothers Marc and Nathaniel Meyohas and longstanding family friend Richard Perlhagen. "We are a family-owned, family-run business with interests everywhere" Marc Meyohas said in a Sunday Times interview March 2012. Greybull was set up to invest the wealth of the two families, whose ties go back forty years. Marc and Nathaniel Meyohas's father is a French corporate lawyer. Perlhagen’s father owned a Swedish pharmaceutical operation which was sold for over ten million pounds. Marc Meyohas said in a phone interview May 2016 “It’s purely family money; we don’t manage institutional capital. As a result you can move quickly.”
Greybull backed New Era Petroleum Inc, since 2010 with both working capital to develop its activities and capital to acquire and re-develop oil fields in the US.
New Era of Wyoming, USA owns The Greybull Field oil well in Greybull, Wyoming.
Greybull supported management’s plans to restructure and re-develop Plessey Semiconductors Ltd, of Plymouth, Devon, since 2010 and has financed add-on acquisitions.
Greybull led the backers of OpCapita's buyout of Comet Group, November 2011, a 236-store business, employing 7,000 for £2; plus a £50m dowry paid by the past owner. Comet of Hull, UK, went into administration November 2012. Comet closes its last stores December 2012. Comet's administrators, Deloitte, said the collapse would cost the UK government £23m in redundancy payments and £26.4m in tax owed; Deloitte's figures showed OpCapita recouped almost £120m from the insolvency. A tribunal ruled, June 2014, that Comet did not follow redundancy rules, so an additional £26m must be paid by the UK Government, on top of the statutory redundancy it previously paid. Comet's collapse dubbed the biggest raid in British corporate history, November 2014. A Government statement said “The Secretary of State has concerns about the financial burden placed on the taxpayer caused by the collapse of companies such as Comet and is considering the options available”.
