We’re delighted to have GCP on board, they have a great track record in the digital transformation space and the investment will support the next phase of our growth plan, including implementing the new Hippo Academy. We were focused on finding a partner that can support us and in GCP we have found like-minded people and we’re excited to work with them going forward.

This is an important and exciting moment in the journey of Jones Knowles Ritchie. It was important to us that we found a partner that believes in our vision to become the pre-eminent global design-led creative company of the future and above all, to still be Proudly Independent so that we can do right by our incredible clients and their brands.

The relationship with GCP will enable us to scale effectively and continue to deliver enterprise cyber security services and tangible business value to our clients. GCP has a long-standing successful track record of supporting fast-growth technology services business. Their focus on partnership, sustainable ambitious growth, and people development fits perfectly with Bridewell’s culture and values.

I would like to thank the GCP team for their invaluable support over the last couple of years. GCP’s sector knowledge and experience have played a vital role in helping us scale by strengthening our talent and service offerings while retaining our unique values. GCP understood our model and identified with our culture from day one. GCP’s involvement has been instrumental in us realising this outcome.

From the start, GCP’s partnership-led approach made them stand out to us and since then, they have been a great strategic ally, helping us both source and execute our buy and build strategy and prepare us and our expanded team for our next phase of growth. Our shared values and culture have significantly contributed to the success of Arrow and the over achievement of our business plan and we thank them for all of their input.

The investment is a key milestone in the development of GTS and we are delighted to be working with GCP in the execution of our strategic plans. GCP has a strong track record of supporting specialist manufacturing businesses which they demonstrated by working with us during challenging macro conditions caused by the outbreak of Coronavirus. We have a strong cultural fit with the GCP team and we look forward to working together through the next phase of our journey.

GCP was our first experience of a private equity investor and we could not have picked a better partner. They understood our business and sector, shared our ambitions for growth and helped us mature and evolve. At DMW we have a hands-on style based on respect, integrity and low ego. This was perfectly matched by GCP’s investment approach.

GCP has been an excellent partner for Chaucer over the past six years. They have proved to be supportive and flexible, often through difficult macro conditions, whilst providing the right balance of independent challenge, sector experience and hands on support as we have grown the Chaucer business.

We are extremely pleased to have concluded an investment from GCP. We are proud of what we have built in Flint and have always sought excellence in our service to clients, the people we have recruited and our culture. GCP has recognised this from our first meeting. They are experienced in supporting high-growth professional services firms and we are delighted to welcome them as our investment partner. We are confident this transaction will put us in a strong position to create more opportunities for our team, strengthen our service offer, and accelerate the future growth of Flint.

With GCP’s support we have made significant progress with our growth strategy over the past few years. We have completed six acquisitions since inception and three with GCP, which has seen us bring in additional expertise, while also enhancing our geographical footprint in the key US market.
