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.

Last week, Evolution Capital took centre stage as Sam Godfrey, Transaction Services Director at EC, demonstrated the revolutionary EC Analytics platform in an engaging interview with Ian Fishwick, EC Client Services Director, serial acquirer and former founder of AdEPT Technology Group. The session not only showcased cutting-edge technology but also embodied Evolution Capital’s ethos: empowering clients with clarity, efficiency, and confidence. Transforming Financial Due DiligenceDrawing on his experience from a £100 million transaction, Fishwick recounted the inefficiencies of static, 300-page financial reports. “The time wasted digging through these outdated documents was immense,” he shared. Godfrey responded with a solution that is nothing short of transformative. EC Analytics, developed across global hubs in London, Chichester, Tirana, empowers buyers and sellers with instant access to interactive, real-time data. Whether it’s mapping out recurring revenue trends, dissecting customer churn, or simulating future scenarios, EC Analytics turns complexity into clarity. For serial acquirers, this means faster and more accurate decision-making. For sellers, it’s an opportunity to prepare, identify weaknesses, and optimise outcomes ahead of a transaction. Why EC Analytics Stands OutHere’s what makes EC Analytics a game-changer: Interactivity: Instantly answer key questions about performance, trends, and risks without wading through static reports. Customisation: Tailor data to your specific needs and reformat seller information into your preferred view. Real-Time Updates: Refresh financial data with the push of a button, ensuring accuracy even when deals face delays. Fishwick summed it up perfectly: “The days of static reports are numbered. Platforms like EC Analytics are what every acquirer needs to make smarter, faster decisions.” Your Invitation to Explore the Future of Due DiligenceSam Godfrey’s demonstration left one thing abundantly clear: EC Analytics isn’t just for the future of due diligence—it’s for the here and now. This tool is reshaping the M&A landscape, and the team at Evolution Capital is inviting you to experience it firsthand.

Evolution Capital’s EC Analytics Platform Attracts Global Attention
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’s EC Analytics Platform Attracts Global Attention Acquisition, Acquisition Strategy, EC Analytic, Strategic review, Technology, Transaction December 2, 2025 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.

Unveiling the Power of EC Analytics: A Game-Changer for Investors and Buyers
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 Unveiling the Power of EC Analytics: A Game-Changer for Investors and Buyers EC Analytic, Strategic review, Transaction December 2, 2025 At Evolution Capital’s recent FDD Forum in London, Rhys Bailey, Chief Revenue Officer at Focus Group, introduced the revolutionary potential of the EC Analytics platform to a gathering of private equity investors and trade buyers. With a wealth of experience leading Focus Group through multiple acquisitions, Rhys offered valuable insights into how this cutting-edge tool simplifies the due diligence process and enhances decision-making for both buyers and sellers. Streamlining the Acquisition Process As Rhys highlighted during the forum, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) can be a challenging endeavour, with both parties striving to grasp the true value of the business under consideration. Evolution Capital’s EC Analytics platform provides a powerful solution. By integrating seamlessly with a company’s trading system, EC Analytics transforms raw data into easy-to-read dashboards and reports, uncovering the core value drivers within the business. “One of the key benefits of EC Analytics is that it removes the hassle for sellers,” Rhys explained. “Instead of manually compiling and organising data, the platform automates this process, offering a clear and honest view of the business. As a buyer, you gain access to critical information quickly, presented in a format that’s simple to understand.” Uncovering Real Value One of the most exciting features of EC Analytics is its ability to reveal hidden insights that might otherwise be missed. Rhys shared an example of a business that, from the outside, seemed strong, but a deeper analysis using the platform uncovered that 50% of its revenue was derived from a declining sector. EC Analytics exposes these realities, enabling buyers to make more informed decisions and avoid overpaying for underperforming assets. “You might believe you’re investing in growth, but EC Analytics shows you where the real value lies—whether that’s in specific revenue streams, profit margins, or operational efficiencies,” Rhys stated. “It allows you to be honest about where the business is flourishing and where improvements are needed. That level of transparency is essential for making sound commercial decisions.” Staying Competitive in a Rapidly Changing Market For Focus Group, EC Analytics has been a critical factor in maintaining its competitive edge. Over the past decade, the company has completed 24 acquisitions, with the platform enabling them to move swiftly and confidently. Rhys noted that being able to access actionable insights within hours, rather than weeks, has been pivotal in driving the company’s success. “We’ve seen our industry thrive due to inflation and price increases, but that has also led to fiercer competition,” he remarked. “With EC Analytics, we can quickly assess whether an acquisition will add real value to our portfolio, helping us to make informed decisions faster than ever before.” The Future of M&A Due Diligence As Rhys concluded his presentation, he emphasised that EC Analytics represents the future of due diligence, offering buyers and investors a level of clarity that traditional methods simply cannot provide. “It’s about making smarter, faster decisions,” he said. “Whether you’re a seller looking for transparency or a buyer seeking value, this platform provides the insights you need to succeed.” In an increasingly data-driven world, tools like EC Analytics are no longer a luxury—they’re a necessity. By simplifying the acquisition process and providing actionable insights, it enables businesses to unlock real value and maintain a competitive edge.

The Banker’s Perspective of Financial Due Diligence powered by EC Analytics
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 The Banker’s Perspective of Financial Due Diligence powered by EC Analytics EC Analytic, Financial Due Diligence, Transaction December 2, 2025 Streamlining Financial Due Diligence with EC AnalyticsIan Mason, former Corporate Director of Technology and Media at NatWest, spoke at Evolution Capital’s FDD Forum in London, showcasing how EC Analytics is revolutionising financial due diligence for private equity investors and trade buyers. His key message was the importance of precise, data-driven insights to support informed decision-making in today’s fast-paced investment environment. Confidence in Recurring Revenue and EBITDA StructureMason outlined the importance of having confidence in a business’s financials, particularly its recurring revenue and EBITDA structure. He explained, “We want to know that the business we’re looking at has a repeatable cash flow or structuring EBITDA that we can really wrap the number around. Do we have confidence in it?” For banks and investors, this level of financial transparency is essential. Mitigating Risk and Uncovering Issues EarlyOne of the platform’s key strengths is risk mitigation. EC Analytics identifies potential risks and issues early, providing clarity in financial data for credit committees and stakeholders who may not be experts in specific sectors. Mason emphasised how the platform helps “bring to life the information that satisfies a credit officer who might not be an expert in digital infrastructure.” Interactive and Iterative ProcessMason praised the interactive nature of EC Analytics, particularly its ability to support an iterative process. He noted that the platform allows users to revisit specific concerns and tailor analyses to investor or lender needs: “If you go back into a tool and it shows me the information that this particular officer has a real issue with, that’s very powerful.” An Insurance Policy for InvestorsIn addition to its analytical capabilities, Mason described EC Analytics as a form of assurance for stakeholders. “For us, it’s like an insurance policy… It’s not just me that likes it, it’s external analysis that’s saying the same thing and it’s good,” he explained. This external validation bolsters confidence in the financial health of target businesses. Conclusion: A Must-Have Tool for Today’s Competitive MarketMason’s endorsement of EC Analytics at the forum reflects the growing need for advanced financial tools that provide clarity and reduce risk. The platform’s ability to streamline due diligence processes, mitigate risks, and improve decision-making makes it invaluable for PE investors and trade buyers alike.
