Apax’s expertise across software, services, ESG and digitisation, ideally positions it to partner with Alcumus’s management team in the next stage of the Company’s evolution..
Liberty advised the management team of Alcumus, led by Alyn Franklin, on all aspects of their reinvestment and new equity incentive plan.
Liberty built a very strong understanding of our business and our management team over a number of years. That mutual understanding was critical as we progressed through our exit. I was delighted with the result that we were able to achieve and thoroughly enjoyed the process.
Alyn Franklin
CEO of Alcumus
We have thoroughly enjoyed advising Alyn and his team over recent years and delighted to have helped them agree the terms of this new investment from Apax. The growth achieved by the team during Inflexion’s period of ownership has been outstanding and we wish them every success in driving future growth with the support of Apax.
