They are the ones where people speak plainly, challenge assumptions and share what they are seeing before it becomes consensus. That is exactly what The Intelligent Deal is intended to create: a private dinner for cyber and MSP leaders who are not watching the market from the side-lines, but helping define where it goes next. We are pleased to announce that Matthew Parker , newly appointed CEO of Xypher , will be joining us as a key speaker at our eagerly-awaited private dinner at The Reform Club on 19 March. Matthew steps into the role at a defining moment for the cyber security sector. Xypher, backed by Limerston Capital and formed through the integration of Aristi, CyberCrowd and DigitalXRAID, represents one of the UK’s most compelling new platforms in cyber, digital forensics and compliance. With a clear buy-and-build strategy and exposure across critical national infrastructure, policing, healthcare and national security, the group is already operating at the sharp end of the evolving threat landscape. Parker’s appointment signals intent: to align specialist capability, technology and talent into a cohesive platform built for scale, resilience and long-term relevance. Matt’s track record in building high-performing, technology-led organisations makes him uniquely placed to lead that next phase. For those who have followed the sector closely, his perspective will be especially valuable. Matt has consistently operated at the intersection of growth, integration and operational discipline; the same themes now shaping M&A activity across cyber and MSP markets. There is a long-standing relationship between Matt Parker and Evolution Capital. During his tenure as CEO of Babble, Matt led the business through a period of exceptional growth, scaling from c.£6m to £100m in revenue. During this time, EC worked closely alongside the management team across multiple Financial Due Diligence processes, supporting the business through sustained acquisition and expansion. That shared history brings a different depth to the conversation, grounded in real experience of scaling, integrating and creating value, rather than theory alone. The Reform Club has long been associated with ideas, influence and thoughtful debate, and it provides the right backdrop for a conversation centred on how leading businesses are being built in today’s market. The focus for the evening will not be on transactions alone, but on the broader forces shaping outcomes in the sector: How the cyber landscape is evolving, and what that means for operators and investors What it takes to build and integrate specialist platforms at pace Where talent, capability and culture now sit in the value creation story How data, intelligence and preparedness increasingly define performance At Evolution Capital, our role in the sector has always been grounded in specialism. Our work across M&A and Financial Due Diligence gives us a continuous, close-up view of how cyber and MSP businesses are performing beneath the surface… Where growth is real, where integration succeeds, and where value is created or lost. Combined with our analytics capabilities, this provides a level of market intelligence that shapes the conversations we bring into rooms like this one. The evening is designed to share that perspective in a private setting, bringing together founders, investors and acquirers who are actively building, scaling or considering their next strategic move. With Matt joining to share his experience of building, integrating and leading in a rapidly changing cyber market, it promises to be a rare opportunity for candid discussion among people operating at the heart of the sector. With the dinner now fully booked, we are looking forward to an evening of serious discussion at The Reform Club with people building, backing and advising some of the sector’s most ambitious businesses. If you would like to be considered for the next one, please contact Max Whitehead or the Evolution Capital team.

Neuways Business Sale

Home Our Services Transaction Services Lead Advisory Debt Advisory Virtual CFO & CFO Assist About Us Our Team Office Location Success Stories Blog Contact Us Home Our Services Transaction Services Lead Advisory Debt Advisory Virtual CFO & CFO Assist About Us Our Team Office Location Success Stories Blog Contact Us Business Sale Financial Due Diligence, IT MSP, Transaction Support November 2024 The Evolution Capital team was proud to have advised the shareholders of Neuways through the successful sale to Zenzero. This transaction marks a significant milestone for both Neuways and its new owner, Zenzero, as they look to the future together. Background Neuways, a highly valuable IT solutions provider based in the Midlands, specialises in three core services: managed IT support, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central/ERP implementation, and managed cybersecurity. The business has built strong, long-term relationships with its clients through multi-service, multi-year contracts, which have supported consistent financial performance and steady growth. Selecting an advisor Neuways sought the sector and transaction expertise of Evolution Capital to conduct a strategic review aimed at understanding the full value of the business and exploring an exit strategy for its ultimate shareholders. Evolution Capital’s primary role was to position Neuways in a way that highlighted key opportunities for potential buyers, ensuring the company’s unique strengths and intrinsic value were brought to the forefront before then identifying the optimal acquirer and entering into the transaction stage. Advice, planning, and preparation With a track record of advising over 250 clients and managing deals collectively valued at over £1 billion, Evolution Capital brought industry insight and meticulous attention to detail to the process. After the initial strategic review, the Neuways shareholders decided to continue working with our team to guide them through the entire sale process to a successful outcome and maximum value. The preparation phase involved the creation of an Information Memorandum (IM) and the use of EC Analytics, an advanced data analytics platform that allowed potential buyers to interact with critical business data. This dynamic approach helped streamline the marketing process and ensure that Neuways’ financial performance, particularly its recurring gross profits and adjusted EBITDA, was effectively communicated. The Evolution Capital team worked diligently to prepare the IM and launch the process in August, aiming to complete a transaction ahead of the Autumn budget. The EC transaction team acted quickly and worked efficiently with Neuways and Zenzero to comfortably meet the deadline. Oli Gee, CFO at Zenzero commented: As usual, we really enjoyed working with the EC team on this deal. Their straightforward and efficient approach meant that we were able to get a deal done in a very short time frame and which delivered a great outcome for all parties. Successful outcomes Evolution Capital is proud to have advised the shareholders of Neuways in achieving a successful sale to Zenzero, a rapidly growing and impressive UK-based Managed Service Provider (MSP) this month. Zenzero emerged as an ideal buyer with an excellent strategic fit and alignment of values, as well as being committed to completing the deal quickly, finalising the transaction in under eight weeks. “Naively, I thought I could run the transaction process independently, and not until I was in the thick of it, did I realise the value an advisor would bring. It is obvious now, that we would not be anywhere near where we are now without the guidance of the EC Team, who added so much in terms of expertise and value. Everyone involved has made the transaction enjoyable and I have great faith in the team, and delighted in the work and dedication shown throughout the process.” Martin Roberts, Neuways For more information on EC Ananlytics, our transaction services and financial due diligence support, please click here ‍ More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Latest Posts Acquisition Strategy Evolution Capital’s EC Analytics shortlisted for Due Diligence Technology Award Acquisition Strategy Evolution Capital welcomes Rohit Ramesh as Business Development Manager Acquisition Strategy The Intelligent Deal: An evening of insight in cyber and MSP M&A Categories <lidata-term-id=”90″> Acquired <lidata-term-id=”64″> Acquisition <lidata-term-id=”13″> Acquisition Strategy <lidata-term-id=”10″> Analytic Services <lidata-term-id=”29″> Blog <lidata-term-id=”58″> Business Acquisition <lidata-term-id=”56″> Business Aquired <lidata-term-id=”6″> Business Sale <lidata-term-id=”66″> Business Valuation and Research <lidata-term-id=”11″> Buy-Side <lidata-term-id=”101″> Buy-side M&A advice <lidata-term-id=”65″> Buyside M&A <lidata-term-id=”28″> Case Studies <lidata-term-id=”81″> Disposal <lidata-term-id=”8″> Financial Due Diligence <lidata-term-id=”68″> Fund raising and listing <lidata-term-id=”54″> Fundraising <lidata-term-id=”75″> Fundraising and M&A advice <lidata-term-id=”94″> ICT <lidata-term-id=”53″> IT <lidata-term-id=”62″> IT Managed Services <lidata-term-id=”61″> IT MSP <lidata-term-id=”55″> M&A advice <lidata-term-id=”60″> M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme <lidata-term-id=”105″> Managed Service and Mobile <lidata-term-id=”52″> Managed Services <lidata-term-id=”67″> MBO Management Buyout <lidata-term-id=”83″> Media <lidata-term-id=”59″> Merger <lidata-term-id=”63″> Multiple R&D Tax Claims <lidata-term-id=”12″> Sell-Side <lidata-term-id=”51″> Sell-side M&A Advice <lidata-term-id=”88″> Software <lidata-term-id=”96″> Strategic review & business sale <lidata-term-id=”69″> Strategic Review & partial sale <lidata-term-id=”57″> Technology <lidata-term-id=”7″> Telecoms <lidata-term-id=”98″> Telephony <lidata-term-id=”107″> Transaction Support <lidata-term-id=”95″> Unified Comms <lidata-term-id=”86″> Valuation and fundraising Social Media Our Blog Related Case Studies View all Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Neuways Business Sale March 27, 2026 Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support DSP March 27, 2026 Business Aquired, Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Babble March 27, 2026 Business Aquired, Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Chess ICT March 27, 2026 Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Redline Business Sale March 27, 2026 Request a Confidential Consultation Discover Your Business Value Start with a strategic assessment to understand your maximum potential valuation in the current market.

Home Our Services Transaction Services Lead Advisory Debt Advisory EC Analytics About Us Our Team Office Location Our Values Success Stories Blog Contact Us Home Our Services Transaction Services Lead Advisory Debt Advisory EC Analytics About Us Our Team Office Location Our Values Success Stories Blog Contact Us Financial Due Diligence Financial Due Diligence, Multi-year Programme, Transaction Support November 2024 Evolution Capital is pleased to have supported DSP on an undisclosed target acquisition, providing financial due diligence to help the management team assess the opportunity with greater clarity and confidence. The challenge For acquisitive businesses, the ability to assess a target quickly and effectively is critical. Beyond understanding historic financial performance, management teams need clear insight into the underlying drivers of the business, the quality of earnings and any issues that could influence value or execution. In this case, DSP required focused, commercially relevant financial due diligence to support decision making around a potential acquisition and ensure key risks and considerations were identified at the right stage of the process. Our advice Evolution Capital was appointed to provide financial due diligence support to DSP on the transaction. Our role was to analyse the target business in detail, helping DSP’s management team understand financial performance, working capital considerations and the key issues likely to impact the acquisition. Throughout the process, we worked closely with the team to present findings clearly and practically, ensuring that the diligence output supported informed discussions and confident decision making. By combining transaction experience with a hands on and responsive approach, we delivered analysis tailored to the needs of the management team and the pace of the deal. The outcome Evolution Capital’s financial due diligence provided DSP with a clearer view of the target business and the issues most relevant to the transaction. Our work helped the management team assess the opportunity with greater confidence, supported negotiations and contributed to a more informed acquisition process overall. Sam Godfrey, Transaction Services Director at Evolution Capital, said: “Supporting acquisitive management teams requires more than simply presenting financial information. It means delivering clarity around the issues that really matter and helping clients focus on the areas most likely to influence value, risk and execution. We were pleased to support DSP on this opportunity and provide financial due diligence that enabled the team to assess the target with greater confidence and a clearer understanding of the business.” For more information on EC Ananlytics, our transaction services and financial due diligence support, please click here ‍ More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Latest Posts Business Aquired DSP Business Aquired Babble Business Aquired Chess ICT Categories <lidata-term-id=”90″> Acquired <lidata-term-id=”64″> Acquisition <lidata-term-id=”13″> Acquisition Strategy <lidata-term-id=”10″> Analytic Services <lidata-term-id=”29″> Blog <lidata-term-id=”58″> Business Acquisition <lidata-term-id=”56″> Business Aquired <lidata-term-id=”6″> Business Sale <lidata-term-id=”66″> Business Valuation and Research <lidata-term-id=”11″> Buy-Side <lidata-term-id=”101″> Buy-side M&A advice <lidata-term-id=”65″> Buyside M&A <lidata-term-id=”28″> Case Studies <lidata-term-id=”81″> Disposal <lidata-term-id=”8″> Financial Due Diligence <lidata-term-id=”68″> Fund raising and listing <lidata-term-id=”54″> Fundraising <lidata-term-id=”75″> Fundraising and M&A advice <lidata-term-id=”94″> ICT <lidata-term-id=”53″> IT <lidata-term-id=”62″> IT Managed Services <lidata-term-id=”61″> IT MSP <lidata-term-id=”55″> M&A advice <lidata-term-id=”60″> M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme <lidata-term-id=”105″> Managed Service and Mobile <lidata-term-id=”52″> Managed Services <lidata-term-id=”67″> MBO Management Buyout <lidata-term-id=”83″> Media <lidata-term-id=”59″> Merger <lidata-term-id=”63″> Multiple R&D Tax Claims <lidata-term-id=”12″> Sell-Side <lidata-term-id=”51″> Sell-side M&A Advice <lidata-term-id=”88″> Software <lidata-term-id=”96″> Strategic review & business sale <lidata-term-id=”69″> Strategic Review & partial sale <lidata-term-id=”57″> Technology <lidata-term-id=”7″> Telecoms <lidata-term-id=”98″> Telephony <lidata-term-id=”107″> Transaction Support <lidata-term-id=”95″> Unified Comms <lidata-term-id=”86″> Valuation and fundraising Social Media Our Blog Related Case Studies View all Business Aquired, Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support DSP March 27, 2026 Business Aquired, Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Babble March 27, 2026 Business Aquired, Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Chess ICT March 27, 2026 Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Redline Business Sale March 27, 2026 Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Comm-Tech Business Sale March 27, 2026 Request a Confidential Consultation Discover Your Business Value Start with a strategic assessment to understand your maximum potential valuation in the current market.

Over the course of that partnership, we provided financial due diligence and EC Analytics to support sharper analysis, stronger visibility and more confident decision making across a number of strategic opportunities. The challenge Babble is one of the UK’s most active acquirers in the communications and managed services market, with an ambitious growth strategy and a high volume of opportunities to assess. For a management team operating at pace, the challenge is not simply gaining access to information, but receiving analysis in a format that supports better, faster and more confident decision making. In a competitive market, Babble needed insight that went beyond conventional reporting and delivered real commercial value across multiple transactions. Our advice Evolution Capital partnered with Babble’s management team across five projects in 2025, providing financial due diligence supported by EC Analytics. Our role was to give the team clearer visibility on target businesses, a stronger understanding of underlying performance and greater confidence in the issues that mattered most. Using EC Analytics, we presented data in a way that was practical, decision-led and aligned to Babble’s acquisition strategy. Across each project, our work helped the management team interrogate the numbers more effectively, focus on key value drivers and assess risks with greater clarity. The outcome Over the course of five projects in 2025, Evolution Capital supported Babble with financial due diligence and analytics-led insight that strengthened decision making throughout the transaction process. The relationship developed into one built not only on technical delivery, but on trust. By working closely with Babble’s management team and consistently delivering analysis in a commercially relevant format, Evolution Capital became a trusted partner in helping the business assess opportunities with greater conviction. Matt Parker, CEO of Babble, said: “We have been looking for a team like Evolution Capital for years. We work with over 20 advisers and brokers, 50% of which we cannot do anything with the information they provide. Evolution Capital are the extreme end of good.” Sam Godfrey, Transaction Services Director at Evolution Capital, said: “Babble is an ambitious and highly experienced acquirer, so the standard of insight required is rightly high. Over the course of these projects, we built a strong working relationship with Matt and the wider management team, grounded in trust, candour and a shared focus on decision quality. Our role was not simply to provide financial due diligence, but to deliver analysis in a way that was genuinely useful to the team as they assessed each opportunity. Through EC Analytics and our transaction experience, we were able to support Babble with clearer insight, sharper interrogation of the numbers and greater confidence in the decisions being made.” For more information on EC Ananlytics, our transaction services and financial due diligence support, please click here ‍ More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Latest Posts Business Aquired Babble Business Aquired Chess ICT Case Studies Comm-Tech Business Sale Categories <lidata-term-id=”90″> Acquired <lidata-term-id=”64″> Acquisition <lidata-term-id=”13″> Acquisition Strategy <lidata-term-id=”10″> Analytic Services <lidata-term-id=”29″> Blog <lidata-term-id=”58″> Business Acquisition <lidata-term-id=”56″> Business Aquired <lidata-term-id=”6″> Business Sale <lidata-term-id=”66″> Business Valuation and Research <lidata-term-id=”11″> Buy-Side <lidata-term-id=”101″> Buy-side M&A advice <lidata-term-id=”65″> Buyside M&A <lidata-term-id=”28″> Case Studies <lidata-term-id=”81″> Disposal <lidata-term-id=”8″> Financial Due Diligence <lidata-term-id=”68″> Fund raising and listing <lidata-term-id=”54″> Fundraising <lidata-term-id=”75″> Fundraising and M&A advice <lidata-term-id=”94″> ICT <lidata-term-id=”53″> IT <lidata-term-id=”62″> IT Managed Services <lidata-term-id=”61″> IT MSP <lidata-term-id=”55″> M&A advice <lidata-term-id=”60″> M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme <lidata-term-id=”105″> Managed Service and Mobile <lidata-term-id=”52″> Managed Services <lidata-term-id=”67″> MBO Management Buyout <lidata-term-id=”83″> Media <lidata-term-id=”59″> Merger <lidata-term-id=”63″> Multiple R&D Tax Claims <lidata-term-id=”12″> Sell-Side <lidata-term-id=”51″> Sell-side M&A Advice <lidata-term-id=”88″> Software <lidata-term-id=”96″> Strategic review & business sale <lidata-term-id=”69″> Strategic Review & partial sale <lidata-term-id=”57″> Technology <lidata-term-id=”7″> Telecoms <lidata-term-id=”98″> Telephony <lidata-term-id=”107″> Transaction Support <lidata-term-id=”95″> Unified Comms <lidata-term-id=”86″> Valuation and fundraising Social Media Our Blog Related Case Studies View all Business Aquired, Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Babble March 27, 2026 Business Aquired, Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Chess ICT March 27, 2026 Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Redline Business Sale March 27, 2026 Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support Comm-Tech Business Sale March 27, 2026 Case Studies, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction Support dbfb March 27, 2026 Request a Confidential Consultation Discover Your Business Value Start with a strategic assessment to understand your maximum potential valuation in the current market.

The transaction strengthened dbfb’s position in a key growth market and combined two businesses with a shared customer first culture and a clear strategic rationale. Advice, Planning and Preparation Evolution Capital supported dbfb on business planning, funding strategy and buy side acquisition execution. The process included the development of a long term banking relationship with Santander, identification of a target aligned to dbfb’s ambitions, and preparation for post deal integration through onboarding to EC Analytics. Simon Pickering, CEO of DBFB commented on the partnership with the Evolution Capital team; “Evolution Capital brought a level of detail and insight that we hadn’t experienced elsewhere. They really understood our business and the broader market context. Evolution Capital transformed what could have been a daunting process into something structured, insightful, and actually quite enjoyable. Their professionalism really stood out.” A Successful Outcome The acquisition provided dbfb with a values led route to expansion and positioned the business for sustainable, data led growth. Charlie Futcher, Transaction Manager at Evolution Capital, said: “Working with Simon and the dbfb team has been a fantastic example of how a clear M&A strategy can be successfully implemented.

The Background Founded in 1986, Comm-Tech has scaled from a regional mobile provider into a nationwide supplier of telecoms, connectivity and managed IT, operating as one of the top Vodafone partners in the UK, with a customer-first culture and longstanding relationships across its loyal customer base. Comm-Tech’s key strengths lie in its exceptional customer service, technical expertise, and strategic relationships with the industry’s top networks. Recognising the need for an adviser with both transactional and sector-specific knowledge, Comm-Tech’s shareholders appointed Evolution Capital to guide them through the complexities of the business sale process, seeking a partner who understood the nuances of the Technology and IT landscape and could prepare and position the business to the optimal strategic buyers in a transaction that unlocks maximum value. Your.Cloud is an international managed service provider with a strategy focused on acquiring strong-performing, entrepreneur-led MSPs across Europe. This deal strengthens its UK presence and gives Comm-Tech access to a broader pool of expertise, scale and strategic support, under Your.Cloud’s decentralised operational model. The acquisition marks Your.Cloud’s first UK investment in the telecoms space and reflects a shared ambition to bring together agile, local providers under one pan-European group, while preserving Comm-Tech’s individual identity and values. Advice, Planning and Preparation The Evolution Capital team, comprising both chartered accountants and industry specialists, undertook a granular analysis of the business. This included a detailed review of management information and scoping of the addressable market opportunity available to Comm-Tech. The culmination of this effort was a meticulously prepared proposition guided through a sales process that articulated the intrinsic and strategic value of the business, which was instrumental in attracting high-quality offers from a carefully curated list of well-funded acquirers. Evolution Capital acted as lead advisor on the transaction, who advised Comm-Tech’s shareholders throughout the full lifecycle of the sale process, from value verification and development, strategic planning and preparation, market positioning and buyer identification, to negotiation and deal execution. Successful Outcomes The Evolution Capital team provided a full suite of advisory services, including transaction readiness, market engagement, and deal execution, ensuring a seamless process and outstanding outcomes for all stakeholders. Brad Melfi, Transaction Executive at Evolution Capital, said: “We are delighted to have supported Justin and the Comm-Tech team on this important milestone. Their deep customer relationships and commitment to innovation made the business a highly attractive platform for a strategic acquirer. It has been a pleasure to help shape this partnership with Your.Cloud, and we’re confident it sets Comm-Tech up for continued success in the years ahead.” Comm Tech Managing Director Justin Millar commented: ‍“Embarking on the sale of Comm-Tech was a major milestone for the shareholders of the business and I, and selecting the right advisor was absolutely pivotal to our success. Evolution Capital’s sector insight, commercial understanding and clarity of information and process throughout made a real difference at every stage. It felt like EC were a true extension of our team, and together, we delivered a fantastic outcome for the business” This deal further demonstrates Evolution Capital’s track record of creating exceptional outcomes for shareholders and leadership teams in the telecoms, IT and cloud services space, particularly in cross-border, strategic transactions where cultural alignment and long-term growth are prioritised.

Evolution Capital’s EC Analytics Platform Attracts Global Attention

Earlier this month, Ian Fishwick and Sam Godfrey of Evolution Capital were featured on the NZ365 Guy Podcast – the largest Microsoft-centred podcast in Asia, with an audience reaching well over 400,000 professionals and decision makers. Broadcast from New Zealand, the episode explored the growing international interest in EC Analytics, the proprietary platform developed by Evolution Capital to modernise and streamline the financial due diligence process. The conversation began with Ian’s reflections on a major transaction he led in 2023, in which the financial reporting alone ran to 300 pages. It was a familiar challenge to anyone who has been involved in M&A: dense documentation, static formatting, and the inevitable search for critical information buried within. “In a world where technology gives us instant access in every other sphere, I no longer wanted to spend my weekends hunting through hundreds of pages to make sense of the data,” Ian noted. That insight gave rise to EC Analytics, a platform designed to allow acquirers and stakeholders to interact directly with the data, interpret it in their own financial language, and update it as required without resorting to costly new reports. The podcast highlighted three key flaws in conventional due diligence and how EC Analytics addresses them: It provides dynamic interactivity, replacing passive reports It reconfigures financials in the buyer’s preferred format It delivers live, up-to-date data with the press of a button Available in two formats – Virtual CFO for single-entity companies and CFO Assist for more complex group structures – EC Analytics is fast becoming a benchmark for modern dealmaking. That the platform is now attracting attention from the farthest corners of the globe is a testament to its relevance, its functionality, and the practical expertise that underpins it.
