Compton Group’s activities are based mainly around property development and investment with off shoot businesses set up over the years. Since 1987 a sizeable portfolio of ground rent investments has been built up, which in turn led to insurance broking and flat management businesses being established. The Group’s ceramic tile business, Direct Tile Warehouse, has 2 branches and an internet offering. It has also invested in scientific research carried out by Welsh universities and it has recently launched it’s first solar farm.
