ARCHITECTS OF EXPONENTIAL GROWTH

Belfast based entrepreneur Tom Smyth, owner of Dream Luxury Serviced Apartments and several other construction and property companies, has recently partnered with Florida based investment company Faison Capital.

Faison Capital is redefining private equity and funding expansive growth across the U.S. Acquiring and moulding profitable, product producing companies in the lower to middle market who are primed for rapid expansion.

Faison Capital Products is a roll up strategy which will see the acquisition of multiple manufacturing companies across the United States. These acquisitions will take place throughout 2021 and 2022. Each target will represent a profitable business with a solid track record but without the resources to scale.

Chief executive officer Quincy Faison states “I am excited to have Tom aboard as the third largest shareholder in Faison Capital. Our Managing Partner Liam Duffy introduced me to Tom and I immediately fell in love with him. He is a very passionate guy and his commitment to entrepreneurship is infectious.”

One of Faison’s projects Bluecorn is a well-established company with 30 years of uninterrupted operations making the highest quality beeswax candles. It is the first acquisition into The Faison Industrial Services Group. Bluecorn supplies customers from around the world and are pioneers of online candle sales

Prior to being acquired by Faison Capital the business was delivering revenues of $1.4 million mostly via Amazon (£1.2 Million). It’s operations were in many cases reactive and it didn’t take advantage of structured resource or purchasing.

Currently Bluecorn is tracking to exceed revenues of $4 million for 2021, with Amazon revenue up 80% YOY. On the future of Bluecorn, Faison Capital CEO, Quincy Faison says: “What we’ve done so far is just the tip of the iceberg. We have other initiatives that we will not launch until we are in our new manufacturing facility. We have forecasted to get this business to $25M within five to seven years, the launch of a range of new scented product lines will be the next step in our growth path for Bluecorn”.

Expanding in America is one of Tom’s goals and when the opportunity to work with Faison arose, it was a perfect fit. He feels a strong connection to America, being close friends with Hollywood A-Listers, successful footballers and being a coach, mentor and speaker with American Billionaire Grant Cardone’s Licensee Programme.

With Faison being based in the US and the UK, bringing Tom Smyth on board means that Faison can expand and diversify the business further throughout the UK and Ireland.

Tom is a well known entrepreneur in the UK and brings a wide array of contacts and a well developed business acumen. His thirst for success drives and motivates him everyday

Quincy Faison states “Tom really knows how to grow a business, with years of experience in the property and construction world, he is a perfect fit for Faison Capital.”

With many contacts throughout the UK and globe, Tom has already brought multiple successful brands to the table for Faison. One of them is award-winning luxury tanning brand ‘Bellamianta’ which is based and manufactured in Ireland. Successful entrepreneur Linda Stinson has over 20 years experience in the beauty industry, developing her own range of clean, nutritious and luxury tanning products.

Linda knew she wanted to take Bellamianta to the next level and expand in the US Market and upon meeting Tom, knew he was the person to get her there

Another company that Tom brought aboard is AMPX, owned by marketing genius, successful entrepreneur and good friend of Tom’s, Andy Malone.

AMPX is a lifestyle brand that seeks to enable individuals to discover their ultimate potential through consistent, rigorous and disciplined mental and physical training.
