The business also benefitted from significant investment in its technology infrastructure. DR&P’s industry leading organic growth rate of 23%, combined with its thoughtful approach to M&A with13 acquisitions completed in last three years, has generated a tenfold increase in EBITDA alongside a quadrupling of headcount during Inflexion’s investment. The business enjoys 95% client retention and has active clients in 46 countries worldwide, despite being UK only focussed when Inflexion invested.
