Shepherd Cox was a hotel investment and management group founded in 2013. The company's primary business model involved acquiring hotels across the UK, then selling individual rooms to private investors on a sale-and-leaseback basis. Investors were typically promised guaranteed annual returns (e.g., 8-10%) over a set period, with buy-back options. However, numerous subsidiary companies within the group collapsed into administration and liquidation starting in 2020, leading to significant financial losses for thousands of investors. Investigations later revealed mismanagement and misuse of investor funds.
