However, here at Evolution Capital, we are proud to announce that our team of expert transaction managers have continued to work closely with our clients to ensure a steady pathway to the successful completion of ten transactions over the past 18 difficult months. Transaction Director, Duncan Gregory said, “Like everyone else, we were suddenly plunged into a time of market vacillation and instability as we witnessed unprecedented issues of economic vacillation and uncertainty for buyers as soon as the first lockdown was announced. Thanks to the high levels of preparation and very close relationships that we enjoy with every one of our clients – both on the buying and selling side – we continued to maintain the high level of activity we work hard to achieve which meant that our transactions were able to continue largely unaffected by outside global influences.” Gregory goes on, “We were determined not to let the considerable challenges of the pandemic hold us back; we spent a great deal of time working in tandem with our clients and our research team analysed the market to make sure that all parties were comfortable and happy with the outcome of their transaction.” Evolution Capital’s Managing Director, Nigel Cook added, “Our pipeline is strong going into 2022. Completing ten deals in 18 months with the minimal stress possible under the circumstances was thanks to our meticulous preparation and client support. This is something we’re proud of, but we don’t rest on our laurels and the team looks forward to working even harder and smarter next year.” “‘Outstanding outcomes for clients are the result of experience and collaboration. I am very excited about the strength of the team we are deploying and what we will achieve in 2022.” For more information about our services, or to speak to a member of our team, call 020 3696 2810, or simply email info@evolutioncapital.com to book an appointment with one of our advisors today.

Do you know who’s looking? Why the UK cybersecurity sector needs to be more dynamic
Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Do you know who’s looking? Why the UK cybersecurity sector needs to be more dynamic Acquisition Strategy, Strategic review, Technology December 2, 2025 The UK cybersecurity market is valued at over £8.3bn (source: Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport) and we are widely regarded as the largest growth nation for the industry in Europe. Indeed, the UK has always had a rich history of innovation in computing: It started with the codebreakers of Bletchley Park when they cracked the Enigma Code and continued with Tim Berners-Lee’s invention of the internet. However, although British security vendors continue to lead the way and defy the increasing threat of cyber-attacks, ensuring a prolific upward growth curve for their solutions, it appears businesses remain lackadaisical about investing in this crucial area. They do so at their peril. According to recent research commissioned by Grant Thornton, 63% of mid-market businesses have not yet appointed a board member responsible for cybersecurity. The NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre) reports around 60 high-level security threats a month and estimates the cost to the UK economy is around £20bn per annum, many of which present a risk to national security. How cybercrime is hitting business The high level of threat from cybercrime has led to an exponential increase in capital expenditure from both the public and private sectors. Businesses and government departments face daily threats from cyber-attacks which come in many different guises. Data breaches are currently seen as the biggest threat with flawed web applications as a major contributing factor making application security a top priority. Cloud-based threats also continue to grow, presenting another hazardous area for organisations as poorly configured or badly maintained silos of data can easily be accessed by unauthorised and malicious end-users. There is also a persistent threat from state-sponsored terrorists focusing on high profile data breaches, stealing political secrets and bringing critical services to a grinding halt through DDOS attacks. The growth of the cybersecurity sector The unprecedented level of online danger has produced fertile conditions for explosive growth in the number of vendors addressing the domestic and international marketplace. The sheer number of devices connected to the internet alone (Gartner predicts 4bn in 2020) and the demand for secure Fintech and 5G applications have created the perfect conditions for growth. Anne Stokes, CEO and co-founder of ST2 Technology, which advises firms on cybersecurity issues, says businesses need to have a multi-layered approach to security in order to combat insider threats – both deliberate as well as accidental. She added: “The internet of things is a growing sector, with most people using their mobile devices to access a whole raft of cloud-based applications. And yet, most of these devices are not secure. Most organisations are not securing their data properly – businesses really need to ensure the devices their staff use are not going to be compromised. The problem is that for many businesses, they don’t know where to start. It’s almost too daunting. Many firms invest in firewalls, which act like a key that you might use to lock your house. But if someone has a copy of that key, there is nothing to stop them from getting in.” The case for dynamism in the sector Despite the anxieties caused by a constant cyber-threat we are fortunate in this country to have so many innovative and diligent security vendors. The solutions offered by the cybersecurity market have to be dynamic, fluid and progressive to meet the threats from unseen attackers who continue to finesse their attacks on a rapidly changing technology landscape. The evolution of public cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence, IoT and ‘security as a service’ brings with it increased challenges which need to be met by solution providers. Successful vendors need to move quickly to keep ahead of the growing threat of malware and hackers. The UK cybersecurity market continues to punch above its weight and is only behind the US and Israel in terms of investment funding (source: Telefonica’s Wayra Group). The industry is well supported by the British government which promotes and invests heavily in the cyber ecosystem – £1.9bn over five years – to help maintain its competitive edge. Bullish outlook for M&A activity It seems appetite for deals in this thriving sector remains strong. One major UK player, Cambridge-based security provider Darktrace, achieved Unicorn status in 2018 with a valuation of over $1bn (source: CBNC). UK heavyweight Sophos paved the way for M&A in 2019 with its US$3.8bn acquisition by Thoma Bravo, whilst in the US NASDAQ quoted Mimecast achieved a market capitalisation of more than US$3bn in the same year. The UK market is well served in the mid-market with solutions to cybercrime and by the end of 2018, there were over 800 companies which in total attracted over £9bn of investment (source: Tech Nation). The rest of the field includes young SMEs supplying some notable solutions and many of today’s smaller organisations are attracting significant investment. Companies like Cybsafe (£4.5m raised to date), iProov (£8m) and Corax (£10.8m) have all been busy raising cash from a bullish investment community. The M&A activity in the marketplace is equally dynamic as corporations look to achieve growth through acquisition. The largest-ever cybersecurity deal, to date, Broadcom’s acquisition of Symantech for US$10.7bn set the tone in August 2019 catalysing an uptick in strong valuations and transaction volumes. The deal exemplified the three key trends affecting the acceleration in international M&A activity, namely: The critical requirement for growing volumes of personal data to be secured An expanding rise in the number of devices connected to enterprise networks The increasing regulatory and financial penalties for insufficient cybersecurity measures. Nigel Cook, founder and managing director of Evolution Capital, commented: “Cyber attacks are among the most pernicious threats to any business today and anyone unprepared can be brought to their knees very quickly.

Outstanding outcomes in Kenya
Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Outstanding outcomes in Kenya Acquisition Strategy, Strategic review, Technology December 2, 2025 “The highest service we can perform for others is to help them to help themselves”Horace Mann, US educational reformer Undoubtedly, Kwale, just south of the world-renowned Mombasa beach, is a beautiful part of the world. This small area of Kenya, set inland from the white sand of Diani Beach, is mostly given over to agriculture, but many of the locals worked, before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, in the many hotels dotted around the shoreline. The decimation of the tourism industry in Kenya was devastating for the families who relied on their jobs in hospitality. Many of them were plunged into abject poverty, almost overnight. Evolution Capital’s MD Nigel Cook was a frequent visitor to this special and relatively unknown region. He said, “As a team, we were horrified to hear how the pandemic had affected the people we’d met and grown to see as friends so dreadfully. We were determined to do something about it and so, working with a project manager, Kenneth Kariuki on the ground in Kwale, we set up a farm business so that the families could begin to rebuild their lives and have a sustainable income however badly the local economy was faring. ”And so, a farm was founded in early 2020. Land was prepared by Kenneth and his team, and a crop of tomatoes, maize, onions, and beans were planted and carefully cultivated before being transported by foot to Ukunda, the nearest local town for sale. Nigel goes on, “We were delighted that the first crop was so bountiful, and we were able to share our business finance expertise with the farm management so that they had a good business plan and pricing strategy to help them literally grow their business.” Two years on and the farm is thriving, so much so that the group in Kenya are now able to buy rather than rent their smallholding’s plot.“We love to hear about the business in Kenya,” Nigel concludes “we are in regular communication with Kenneth and his team, and the whole team here at Evolution Capital is always keen to help them maximise their profits and build better lives in their beautiful part of the world.” Members of our team will be competing in an array of Ultra marathons and triathlons in order to raise funds to further support this project.

Evolution Capital Implements an Accelerated Process to Meet Challenges of Covid-19 and Fully Achieve Shareholder Expectations
Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Evolution Capital Implements an Accelerated Process to Meet Challenges of Covid-19 and Fully Achieve Shareholder Expectations Acquisition Strategy, Strategic review, Technology December 2, 2025 Babble Cloud Ltd. recently announced that it had acquired Lake Technologies Ltd; the second acquisition that Babble has made so far in 2020. Overall, it is the fourth deal build by the firm to help spur further growth and transformation since it received private equity backing in 2017 from LDC. Lake Technologies has provided business telephony and network services to its customers for over 26 years, who will now be able to take advantage of Babble’s ability to offer agile and efficient cloud-based solutions to organisations, allowing them to adapt to the changing working environments. Choosing the Right Time Evolution Capital conducted several face-to-face meetings with the owners of Lake Technologies who then decided that the right time had arrived to sell their business. Evolution Capital provided guidelines to the Lake management team and shareholders with the production of the relevant business information for them to conduct an independent process to sell the business. Neil Needham, out-going Commercial Director of Lake Technologies, said “We have had an on-going relationship with Evolution Capital for some time and informed them of our intention to sell the company and asked them to find us some suitable buyers for the business. They guided us with the development of an MOI and committed to finding us a suitable buyer. Evolution Capital managed our confidentiality, and their knowledge of the marketplace and having mature relationships with buyers was key to a speedy and successful sale of our business. Lake’s shareholders entrusted them to find a buyer that matched strict criteria. The first potential acquirer Evolution Capital introduced us to had detailed and exacting requirements, which we matched completely, and the sales process started and ultimately completed very smoothly. Our main concern was the effect on the process of the COVID-19 lock-down as my previous experience of business disposal required a great deal of personal contact with the buyers. We had only met Babble, the eventual acquirers, on two occasions before lock-down but such was the preparation, detail and efficiency of all parties that any ‘rocks in the road’ were dealt with quickly.” Success Despite an Uncertain Market Matt Parker, Babble’s CEO said, “This is another step on Babble’s rapidly accelerating ride towards £100m as we seek further acquisitions in partnership with LDC. I am delighted to have acquired another high-quality business in Lake Technologies. Both businesses have a focus on improving productivity and increasing customer engagement and organisational resilience whilst reducing costs, to deliver a rapid return on investment for clients.” Read more about the acquisition More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Categories Acquired (2) Acquisition (8) Acquisition Strategy (19) Analytic Services (3) Blog (20) Business Acquisition (1) Business Aquired (2) Business Sale (23) Business Valuation and Research (1) Buy-Side (1) Buy-side M&A advice (1) Buyside M&A (3) Case Studies (59) Disposal (5) Financial Due Diligence (2) Fund raising and listing (1) Fundraising and M&A advice (2) ICT (2) IT (2) IT Managed Services (2) IT MSP (1) M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme (5) Managed Service and Mobile (1) Managed Services (2) MBO Management Buyout (1) Media (1) Merger (1) Multiple R&D Tax Claims (1) Sell-Side (2) Sell-side M&A Advice (1) Software (1) Strategic review & business sale (1) Strategic Review & partial sale (1) Technology (6) Telecoms (30) Telephony (1) Transaction Support (1) Unified Comms (3) Valuation and fundraising (1) Social Media Our Blog Related Articles View all blog posts Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital Implements an Accelerated Process to Meet Challenges of Covid-19 and Fully Achieve Shareholder Expectations December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Synergy Associates complete Acquisition of Fresh Tech December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Acora completes Veber acquisition during the pandemic December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital Advises ACR IT Solutions in the business sale to BDR Group December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital Advises PACE Telecom in the Business Sale to Enreach UK December 2, 2025 What does Evolution Capital do?

Synergy Associates complete Acquisition of Fresh Tech
Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Synergy Associates complete Acquisition of Fresh Tech Acquisition, Acquisition Strategy, Strategic review, Technology December 2, 2025 The international Managed Services Provider (MSP) Synergy Associates Ltd has completed its acquisition of Fresh Tech Limited, marking the next step in the firm’s M&A-driven growth strategy. Despite the developing situation with COVID 19, the transaction completed in April 2020.Synergy’s advisors, Evolution Capital, acted as introducer and supported negotiations, leading to a successful completion of the deal for an undisclosed sum. Alexander Caplan, Founder of Synergy Associates, said: “Evolution introduced us to Fresh Tech in 2017, and we immediately saw the opportunity for an exciting collaboration with a leading MSP operating in complementary market sectors. Synergy and Fresh Tech are alike in numerous respects; international reach, dedication to clients, and advocacy of Cloud-first solutions. Evolution helped to negotiate and realise the merger, bringing value to each party, and working to create a substantial new firm with enhanced capabilities and scale. Ric McCorriston, Founder of Fresh Tech, said: “At an early stage, we identified shared values and aspirations between our two organisations. The consolidation of our resources has enabled us to expand our activities internationally, with further opportunities for growth on the horizon.” Duncan Gregory, Head of Evolution Capital’s Transaction Team, said: “After working with Synergy for five years and helping them create significant value in their business, we are delighted with the outcome of this acquisition as part of what we believe will be a very successful M&A strategy. Our innovative and bespoke process, which has been developed in-house by Evolution Capital following decades of transactional experience, has enabled us to keep transactions on track despite the negative effects of the pandemic.” More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Categories Acquired (2) Acquisition (8) Acquisition Strategy (18) Analytic Services (3) Blog (19) Business Acquisition (1) Business Aquired (2) Business Sale (23) Business Valuation and Research (1) Buy-Side (1) Buy-side M&A advice (1) Buyside M&A (3) Case Studies (59) Disposal (5) Financial Due Diligence (2) Fund raising and listing (1) Fundraising and M&A advice (2) ICT (2) IT (2) IT Managed Services (2) IT MSP (1) M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme (5) Managed Service and Mobile (1) Managed Services (2) MBO Management Buyout (1) Media (1) Merger (1) Multiple R&D Tax Claims (1) Sell-Side (2) Sell-side M&A Advice (1) Software (1) Strategic review & business sale (1) Strategic Review & partial sale (1) Technology (6) Telecoms (30) Telephony (1) Transaction Support (1) Unified Comms (3) Valuation and fundraising (1) Social Media Our Blog Related Articles View all blog posts Acquisition Strategy, Blog Synergy Associates complete Acquisition of Fresh Tech December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Acora completes Veber acquisition during the pandemic December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital Advises ACR IT Solutions in the business sale to BDR Group December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital Advises PACE Telecom in the Business Sale to Enreach UK December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital advises AdEPT Technology Group on the Acquisition of Datrix Ltd December 2, 2025 What does Evolution Capital do?

Acora completes Veber acquisition during the pandemic
Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Acora completes Veber acquisition during the pandemic Acquisition Strategy, Strategic review, Technology December 2, 2025 Veber, a London-based managed services provider (MSP) has been acquired by Acora Ltd, a UK-wide MSP with offices in both the South East, London and the Midlands. Established in 1999 Veber’s core business is providing hosted managed services to a mix of SME and corporate customers. Acora’s ambition is to be the number one UK managed service provider to the mid-market and the acquisition of Veber enables Acora to scale its private cloud offering as part of this strategy. Evolution Capital was appointed by the shareholders to advise with planning their exit strategy from the business. After a thorough review of the business, Veber implemented a number of pre-sale recommendations and Evolution Capital undertook a targeted marketing approach to qualify potential acquirers. The process culminated in a successful sale to Acora for an undisclosed sum in August 2020. Tim Poultney, Veber’s CEO said, “Although I started Veber over twenty years ago, I have limited exposure to the process of preparing and selling a business. I took the company to a stage where it was profitable, stable but the business now required new ownership to maximise the potential I had created. We engaged Evolution Capital as our advisors to prepare the business for sale. Their preparation and expertise throughout the process was key to the success and enabled a smooth exit with a knowledgeable and market-leading acquirer.“ Acora, who since Spring 2020, is supported by Palatine Private Equity LLP has made a number of acquisitions since 2017 and continues to look to bring further high-quality businesses into its Group. Nigel Cook, Evolution Capital’s MD, said, “In these challenging times, when professional buyers such as Acora and their PE investors are behaving more cautiously, it is even more critical, for shareholders seeking to achieve maximum value, that business sale propositions are developed from sound analysis and are defensible under the microscope”. David Hemmings, Head of M&A for Acora said, “We received a clear and detailed Information Memorandum from Evolution Capital in March 2020 which allowed us to effectively assess the opportunity. Veber had good customers and a number of very capable staff. With Evolution’s help, even during Lockdown, we were able to agree HoT’s by May 2020.” More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Categories Acquired (2) Acquisition (8) Acquisition Strategy (17) Analytic Services (3) Blog (18) Business Acquisition (1) Business Aquired (2) Business Sale (23) Business Valuation and Research (1) Buy-Side (1) Buy-side M&A advice (1) Buyside M&A (3) Case Studies (59) Disposal (5) Financial Due Diligence (2) Fund raising and listing (1) Fundraising and M&A advice (2) ICT (2) IT (2) IT Managed Services (2) IT MSP (1) M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme (5) Managed Service and Mobile (1) Managed Services (2) MBO Management Buyout (1) Media (1) Merger (1) Multiple R&D Tax Claims (1) Sell-Side (2) Sell-side M&A Advice (1) Software (1) Strategic review & business sale (1) Strategic Review & partial sale (1) Technology (6) Telecoms (30) Telephony (1) Transaction Support (1) Unified Comms (3) Valuation and fundraising (1) Social Media Our Blog Related Articles View all blog posts Acquisition Strategy, Blog Acora completes Veber acquisition during the pandemic December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital Advises ACR IT Solutions in the business sale to BDR Group December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital Advises PACE Telecom in the Business Sale to Enreach UK December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital advises AdEPT Technology Group on the Acquisition of Datrix Ltd December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Successfully Exiting Your Business: A Conversation with Mahmood Chaudhri, Founder of Datrix December 2, 2025 What does Evolution Capital do?

Evolution Capital Advises ACR IT Solutions in the business sale to BDR Group
Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Home Contact Us Home-version 2 Service page About Us Office Location Post template Evolution Capital Advises ACR IT Solutions in the business sale to BDR Group Acquisition Strategy, Business Sale, sale, Strategic review, Technology December 2, 2025 Evolution Capital Advises ACR IT Solutions in the business sale to BDR Group The shareholders of ACR IT Solutions, based in Bury, Greater Manchester concluded the successful sale of the business to the BDR group, a specialist IT supplier, located in Stratford on Avon. The sale of ACR, a supplier of IT infrastructure and support, was concluded in January 2021 for an undisclosed sum following a negotiation period of six months between buyer and seller. ACR’s board of directors appointed Evolution Capital to provide expert advice and to identify an appropriate acquirer for the business in 2019. The eventual acquirer, the BDR Group have made a number of complementary acquisitions since its inception 1991 and were identified early in the engagement as a potential buyer for the business.Founder and majority shareholder of ACR, Tony Burrison said, “Our engagement with Evolution Capital was the catalyst for success. Not only did they provide us with a safe pair of hands but their understanding of our requirements and their detailed approach was superb from start to finish.” Nigel Cook, MD of Evolution Capital said,“We are always pleased when the application of our expert advice and unique methodologies provide such a favourable outcome. We believe the goals of both parties have been exceeded with the speed and value of this transaction.” Tony Burrisson concluded by saying, “My major takeaway from the transaction is that it is never too early to engage with the right advisors. No company should attempt a disposal process without getting an expert advisor. For our part getting the right one was the best money we have ever spent. Evolution Capital were good value and without them the venture would probably not have completed so favourably.” More than 2 results are available in the PRO version (This notice is only visible to admin users) Categories Acquired (2) Acquisition (8) Acquisition Strategy (16) Analytic Services (3) Blog (17) Business Acquisition (1) Business Aquired (2) Business Sale (23) Business Valuation and Research (1) Buy-Side (1) Buy-side M&A advice (1) Buyside M&A (3) Case Studies (59) Disposal (5) Financial Due Diligence (2) Fund raising and listing (1) Fundraising and M&A advice (2) ICT (2) IT (2) IT Managed Services (2) IT MSP (1) M&A Managed Buy and Build Programme (5) Managed Service and Mobile (1) Managed Services (2) MBO Management Buyout (1) Media (1) Merger (1) Multiple R&D Tax Claims (1) Sell-Side (2) Sell-side M&A Advice (1) Software (1) Strategic review & business sale (1) Strategic Review & partial sale (1) Technology (6) Telecoms (30) Telephony (1) Transaction Support (1) Unified Comms (3) Valuation and fundraising (1) Social Media Our Blog Related Articles View all blog posts Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital Advises ACR IT Solutions in the business sale to BDR Group December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital Advises PACE Telecom in the Business Sale to Enreach UK December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Evolution Capital advises AdEPT Technology Group on the Acquisition of Datrix Ltd December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Successfully Exiting Your Business: A Conversation with Mahmood Chaudhri, Founder of Datrix December 2, 2025 Acquisition Strategy, Blog Life after a sale: interview with ICOM founder John Donoghue December 2, 2025 What does Evolution Capital do?
