2024 was a year that tested our resilience, challenged our creativity, and reinforced the strength of our strategy. Despite market volatility, the MiddleGround team pushed forward—closing five acquisitions, expanding our global footprint to 221 operating facilities across 29 countries, and achieving a 76% employee satisfaction rating of 4+ out of 5.

As our Founder & Managing Partner, John Stewart, put it, “The real achievers rise to the top in times of difficulty. The successes we had in 2024 called for creativity, tenacity, and grit… and I’m proud to say the MiddleGround team are no strangers to all three.”
