We worked really well with the ECI Origination Team to map the M&A market. The impact of the acquisitions on our growth was transformational. What we were able to acquire was really unique capability, at the right price with the right organisations that made a difference to the overall growth trajectory.

It’s been a pleasure working with Andy Collis and the team at Moneypenny. We aim to flex our resource to help the businesses we back get strategic M&A over the line – whether that’s sourcing, unlocking or managing a pipeline of targets. That’s exactly what we’ve done with Moneypenny and it’s been great to see the results.”
