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.

About 

Inflexion Partnership Capital backed the carve-out of Giacom, the UK’s largest independent wholesaler of communications, IT and cloud services to resellers, from Daisy Group, and is now backing the business to build out its cloud and security offering.

Giacom (previously Digital Wholesale Solutions) provides cloud, communications, mobile and IT products and services on a wholesale basis to over 6,000 UK partners from vendors including Vodafone, O2, BT/EE, Microsoft and Virgin Media Business. Its services are targeted at resellers serving SMEs typically employing 10 to 250 people.

Value acceleration  

Inflexion’s minority investment allowed Giacom to become an independent business, with a strategy to be the partner of choice for resellers serving SMEs. Inflexion is supporting Giacom to expand its cloud and security offering and deepen relationships with its reseller base, including the roll-out of a new software suite and the modernisation of its technology platform. Giacom has made strategic acquisitions of IntY and Inform Billing and is exploring further opportunities while refining its pricing and go-to-market strategy.
