What Triple B does

Triple B is a privately held family-owned international investment group incorporated as TripleB International B.V. in the Netherlands and headquartered at Apollolaan 151, Amsterdam. Founded in 2020 by Thomas G. Bata (former CEO and Chair of the Bata Shoe Company), Thomas A. Bata (founder of MGG outdoor clothing brand), and Charlotte Bata-How (former marketing executive at Selfridges, Estée Lauder, and Dior), the firm leverages the Bata family's 130-year retail legacy and operates across three investment divisions: Triple B Real Estate (A-grade commercial real estate assets), Triple B Growth (growth-equity investments with founder-led companies and no fixed-term exit horizon), and Triple B Venture (venture-stage companies where the team can add operational value).

The firm holds a commercial real estate portfolio including OMNi Centre Edinburgh (a 219,727 sq ft leisure and entertainment destination acquired for £65 million from Nuveen, April 2024, attracting over 4 million visitors annually with tenants including Wetherspoons, Vue Cinema, Nando's, and Nuffield Health), 7 Birchin Lane in London's financial district (a fully leased Grade A office building of ~23,000 sq ft, July 2024), 616 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach (9,477 sq ft flagship, December 2024), and Stock Exchange Court in Glasgow (a 56,000 sq ft Category A listed landmark acquired for £23.56 million from Columbia Threadneedle Investments, December 2025). Its venture and growth portfolio spans sports and entertainment (INTENNSE professional tennis league launched 2025 with $4M backing), consumer brands (Snuggs, Doughlicious, Chilli Chan's, Peachies), retail and e-commerce, and materials science (Klura Labs, £7.7M investment announced February 2026).

Triple B's business model centers on capital deployment across real estate acquisition and operating-improvement plus minority equity investments in growth and venture-stage companies, with revenue generated through rental income, asset appreciation, and capital gains on portfolio exits. The 1-10 person team is supported by a senior advisory bench drawn from BCG-name institutions (Bata, Nike, Selfridges, Dior, KPMG, PwC, BlackRock, Klépierre, Silverpeak), enabling leverage on operating expertise typical of larger funds. The company also operates Friends of Bata, a nonprofit social impact platform supporting education and entrepreneurship initiatives in Europe and North America. Geographic focus spans Western Europe (UK, Netherlands), DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), Central Europe (Czech Republic, Poland), and selective North American markets (US, Canada).
