Our Story

A Long-Term Home for
Great Businesses

Huntington Holdings was founded by Ben Andrews and Tillman Drew. Ben is a West Point and Virginia graduate, former Army Aviator, and Thomasville, AL native. Tillman is a Wake Forest and Virginia graduate, former financial services consultant, and acquisitions director at Madison Capital Group. Both are Alabama natives who share a conviction: the small businesses that keep our communities running deserve an owner who's committed to them for the long haul.

We buy businesses to own and operate them. That means we're thinking in decades, not deal cycles. We bring deployable investment capital, hands-on management, and the operational freedom and discipline to step into a founder's shoes on day one. If you've built something real and want it to endure, we'd like to talk.

Our Focus

What We Look For

Alabama & Gulf Coast

Our focus is regional and intentional. We want to invest where we live and build something that matters to the communities around us.

Established Businesses

Companies with a track record of steady revenue and loyal customers. We're drawn to the businesses that have been quietly succeeding for years.

Distribution & Services

We gravitate toward distribution, services, and light manufacturing. The kinds of businesses that form the backbone of a regional economy.

Legacy Operations

If the business runs because of you, that's not a problem for us. It's an opportunity. We're prepared to step in and operate.

Good businesses build good communities. We want to be part of both.
