Pembroke was a long-term investor in ME+EM, having first backed Clare Hornby in 2015, working alongside her and the team to help build the modern luxury fashion brand that it is today. Pembroke’s stake in the business was sold to Highland Europe, who have invested to accelerate the brand’s international expansion in the US, Australia and the Middle East.
ME+EM appeals to consumers who prioritise higher quality purchases with sustainability credentials. The loyalty and brand satisfaction of its customers – including the Duchess of Cambridge and Claudia Winkelman – has seen ME+EM deliver triple digit-growth in revenues in 2021.
