We’re delighted to announce the appointment of three new Partners, among other senior promotions. This news comes following a strong 2020 performance. Despite market uncertainty, ECI’s portfolio has remained resilient, and we delivered on five new investments and five exits over the course of the year.
Michael Butler, Duncan Ramsay and Stephen Roberts have all been promoted to Partner. Together, they have a wealth of experience at ECI and have played a key role in delivering growth for investments across all sectors in ECI’s portfolio.
