By 2019, Greybull had bought several struggling firms for low prices, but many of them had subsequently failed. Examples include the airline Monarch, sports bar and snooker hall chain Riley's, the M Local convenience store chain, and electrical goods retailer Comet. Greybull bought British Steel, Britain's second-largest steelworks, for £1 in 2016, invested £20-million in the company, and charged it £6-million in fees and accrued £14-million of owed interest in the years after. British Steel became insolvent in May 2019, after failing to secure government funding.

Greybull was criticised in 2019 by Lord Myners for its track record of making money from failed investments.
