About us

Newable powers business growth

Working with ambitious businesses since 1982.

Newable provides investment, expertise and access to ambitious businesses looking to unlock their next stage of growth. We’ve shown that growth happens when we connect
people, capital, ideas and opportunities.

When was Newable established?

We were founded in 1982 as Greater London Enterprise (GLE). In 2016, we re-branded as Newable to reflect our bold growth agenda and the wider national footprint of our activities.

Who owns Newable?

In 2023, Newable became 100% employee-owned. Historically, Newable operated as a company limited by guarantee, meaning we did not have shareholders, but instead had members. Our members were the 32 London Boroughs and the City of London Corporation. Find out more.

What are Newable's values?

Newable is a values-driven business. Our values were defined as a result of a company-wide engagement process. The five values are: Dream Big, Get Going, Grow Together, Always Improve, and Pass it On. Together the values help foster a culture that generates business confidence.
