Octopus began life on 15 February 2000, out of the front room of one of the company’s three founders. We haven’t stopped growing since. From the very beginning, we’ve invested in the ideas, people and enterprises that might one day change the world.
Our founders’ obsession with always delivering something better has led us on a unique journey. Today we are building companies that people love and which make a difference.
We now have over 500 employees, and more than 150,000 people entrust us with over £7.5 billion* of their money across all Octopus Group businesses. We’ve built market-leading positions in tax-efficient investment, smaller company financing, renewable energy and healthcare. But no matter how big we get, we’ll keep doing the simple things well and keep looking after each of our customers, day in, day out.
