EC advise Callagenix in their successful acquisition by Chess
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 EC advise Callagenix in their successful acquisition by Chess Acquisition, Acquisition Strategy, Callagenix, Strategic review, Technology December 2, 2025 Bespoke telephony developer and operator Callagenix Ltd has been acquired by leading technology services provider Chess, as part of a deal to further strengthen the firms offering in the space. The Berkshire based business, established in 1999, uses a self-developed billing and operational platform to provide its services, principally focused on inbound telephony and associated services. Founded by brothers Mark and Tony Jenkins alongside a partner, now retired, the semi-automated platform attracts a wide breadth of variety across its customer base, allowing access to tailored services including call recording, international services and virtualised call centre operations. “The integration of Callagenix into Chess, will not only allow our customers to continue to benefit from the high levels of service to which they have become accustomed, but also provide the added flexibility of them being able to easily add additional services and further streamline their own digital transformation,” Mark Jenkins, co-founder of Callagenix explained. “We are delighted the services we have constantly evolved over the past 20 years in building and maintaining Callagenix have been recognised by Chess, and that our longstanding customer-base will continue to be fully supported under the new ownership structure.” David Pollock, Chess Founder and Executive Chairman, commented: David Pollock, Executive Chairman of Chess “The acquisition of Callagenix enhances our hybrid telephony proposition.

Collaboration, Competition and Preparation; The keys to success
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 Collaboration, Competition and Preparation; The keys to success Acquisition, Acquisition Strategy, Strategic review, Technology December 2, 2025 “Learning isn’t a way of reaching one’s potential but rather a way of developing it.”Anders Ericsson Collaboration allows us to learn from one another, but most importantly, it is the driver which enables us to develop creative solutions for our clients. Collaboration, preparation, methodology and competitiveness lie at the core of what we do and as you would expect, our team members demonstrate these values in their personal lives.This month at Evolution Capital, our team have undertaken an array of immensely challenging sports competitions, as both personal and fundraising initiatives. Firstly, M&A advisor Fraser Dixon competed in this year’s Dulux Race to the King, a 100km ultramarathon set in the tranquil South Downs. The race is not just an extraordinary opportunity to explore the Downs, but also a chance to raise funds for Chestnut Tree House, a Sussex-based charity which provides support to children, young people and their families who have life-limiting conditions.Thank you to everyone who supported Fraser, be that by donating to the cause or by standing on the roadside with BCCA-charged water, your support went a long way, and to have raised £500 for Chestnut Tree House on top of tackling, what some may argue to be a truly gruelling challenge, is a huge accomplishment. “I am delighted to have raised a fantastic amount for Chestnut Tree House. The combined weeks/miles of training in preparation were almost as gruelling as the event itself, but knowing my participation would benefit such a wonderful charity was reason enough to continue to push myself.” Fraser Dixon, M&A Advisor. Katie, our newest member, and latest numerical talent to join the Transaction services team also took on the epic Three Peaks challenge in the western Highlands of Scotland this weekend. Tackling Ben Nevis first, and working her way down, Katie and her group conquered the three peaks in a mere weekend, proving that it is mind over matter. “There’s nothing like a mountain to put everything into perspective and make you feel alive. Climbing the 3 biggest in Scotland, England and Wales respectively in under 24 hours certainly required preparation, resilience and, most of all, teamwork. It was so inspiring to be part of such a wonderful team who lifted each other up, a perfect reminder of the importance of teamwork in achieving goals we set together.” Katie Horsfield, Transaction Executive And finally, members of our team travelled to Silverstone on Sunday to spectate and support our sponsored driver Tony Jenner, in the Caterham Academy Championship series. The nature of our work is complex and developing compelling propositions for clients requires meticulous detail. For those business owners who have not yet trodden the business transaction path before, it can often appear a daunting and challenging process. However, with over twenty years of experience in deal-making within the ICT space, we would argue that preparation is the ultimate key to success, having the right people by your side makes all the difference. For those business owners who have chosen Evolution Capital, that would be because our team are ready with a compass and a map, ready to navigate the path. Jonathon Weeks, Founder of Pescado, when asked about the journey of selling the business said; “I’ve honestly learnt so much through this process… Evolution Capital really held our hand through [the business sale process]. They understood what it was we wanted initially and delivered on all fronts. They found a buyer that was a perfect match for us.” It is then, by no surprise, that this month saw our team undertake many competitive challenges outside of work, which required considerable preparation, training and resilience to achieve the desired outcome.

Trends You Can Trust | Market Temperature
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 Trends You Can Trust | Market Temperature Acquisition, Acquisition Strategy, Strategic review, Technology December 2, 2025 As the UK temperature reaches record highs, signs are slowly starting to show that the heat in multiples sellers have seen in the mid-market may be creeping to an end. Deal volumes typically drop in the summer months and have so far remained fairly typical in our sector, with only capital markets showing signs of trading weakness and a real fall, but how the final half of the year pans out could well be an early indicator for trading figures as we enter 2023. Consolidation in the ICT space remains the driving force, with our ‘Christmas Card’ list of trade buyers carefully acquiring synergistic targets to further their competitive edge. Despite a slight downturn in mid-market activity, Private Equity shows similar confidence with the sale of Beechtree backed BCN Group to ECI Partners, for a reported £125m, making particular headlines in our space. While there may perhaps be indications of longer term concern when looking at wider mid-market activity, in Evolution Capitals focus area of the lower mid-market, where turnover typically ranges between £5m and £50 million, there is still a healthy amount of buoyancy and certainly enough action to excite buyers and sellers alike. Despite the macro economy, investors are still carrying dry powder, even with the flurry of transaction activity last year and, before that, in the closing moments of 2020. This means that, while the term “sellers market” is certainly still coming through thick and fast, acquirers are able to be more considered with their targeting of prospective acquisitions.This factor is driving sellers to assess their options in far greater detail, with your average broker model, where the rate of deal completion is typically only around 1 in 5 at best, no longer offering a remotely attractive proposition for shareholders considering truly taking advantage of the market and moving to an exit. Instead, the more consultative approach of the advisor is taking focus, allowing shareholders to gain genuine insight into not only the current markets, but also to provide an objective overview of options available to them, be it properly structured organic growth, M&A or indeed an exit. Here the value added through proper preparation and methodical and meticulous structuring of advice really comes into play, with problem solving playing as great a part. The level of activity of course depends on the sub-sector these businesses operate in. SaaS is continuing to drive high deal volume, though it is important of course not to confuse this with deal values. Cyber Security also is generating interest, especially in those trade acquirers having difficulty in recruiting experienced staff. Another area which we expect to see increased activity is public cloud, or Platform as a Service. In this area the Node4 acquisition of Microsoft Azure specialist Risual acts as a fine example, demonstrating the drive towards European Public Cloud spend hitting $113bn by the close of 2022. Likewise, as the UK continues striving towards the PSTN switch-off, infrastructure is a huge part and one in which we expect to see a great deal of consolidation in the coming 18 months. Recent moves in this area include the Connexin purchase of Pure Broadband and also Glide effectively acquiring the 85 acres of mixed-use fibre network in Wembley Park from Quintain, with their purchase of Velocity1. The temperature in the lower mid-market for ICT services remains consistent, but the importance of having a properly structured strategy, and being fully prepared for any future transaction, remains critical to the success of any deal. Our advise to shareholders considering their options, is to fully both explore and understand the potential sector specialist advisors to guide them on their journey, and complete their own due diligence into past transactions, quality of advice and the rate of successfully completed deals. The emphasis on due diligence remains the hottest element of any successful transaction, so working with a partner to not only advise you, but also to properly prepare and guide you through the process is the key to unlocking maximum value to exceed your aspirations.
