Our testimonials
Partnering with Inflexion is the best decision I have ever made for my business.
Matt McCormick, CEO, Halo
I could not be more delighted with my engagement with Inflexion. When the going gets tough they are always supportive but equally encourage us in terms of our growth aspirations.
David Speakman, General Manager, Marley
The best PE that I have ever dealt with are the ones that have a bit of emotional intelligence, and that's one of the big things we found with Inflexion. We actually liked the people that we were talking to and they understood what we were trying to achieve, and that's really important as they actually listened.
Matthew Riley, Chairman, Giacom
Our work together with Inflexion exceeded our already high expectations. Their expertise in M&A and international expansion together with their technology know how made a transformational difference to our business. I am extremely proud of what the team have achieved and know we remain well supported for future growth.
Alyn Franklin, CEO, Alcumus

What Inflexion has really brought to the table is to stretch our ambitions and vision. What they say is what they do. They operate to the highest integrity and values. They have a work hard culture but one which is collaborative and inclusive.
Stewart Kay, CEO, British Engineering Services
We knew what needed to happen, it was just being given the playing field to actually bring it to life, and the Inflexion relationship has allowed us to do that.
Howard Taylor, CEO, Rosemont Pharmaceuticals
Inflexion gave us just the right amount of support during our successful four-year partnership. Their minority funding at the outset enabled LCP’s Partners to regain majority ownership of the business, which has had significant benefits for our clients and our people.
