Hot on the heels of four recent awards wins, we’re delighted to round 2023 off with two more award nominations at the 2024 Real Deals Awards.
The Real Deals awards are Europe’s most prestigious and long-running awards and we’re thrilled to have been shortlisted in two categories: PE House of the Year and UK Upper Mid-Cap Deal of the Year for market-leading electric vehicle management and leasing firm, Tusker.
2023 was a milestone year for ECI after closing our largest ever fund, ECI 12, with a hard cap of £1bn and delivering 4 exits at an average return of 4.7x average gross MOIC. We are also delighted that the Tusker exit to Lloyds Banking Group, generating a return of 6.2 x gross MOIC, has been recognised as an exceptional deal of the year.
Not only that, but we launched our Growth Specialist panel, who work alongside our commercial team to drive value creation initiatives across the portfolio, helping to support average portfolio revenue growth of over 20% across the year. We also became B-Corp certified, representing our progress and commitment to future development on ESG.
