GCI used BGF funding to successfully support its buy-and-build strategy, acquiring 12 companies to become the UK’s largest privately-owned ICT service provider.

During our investment period, GCI’s revenues doubled to over £100m and grew its team from 150 to 500 people. BGF also provided input into the appointment of four C-suite hires, including a CTO and CMO.

The business was successfully acquired by Mayfair Private Equity in 2018.

GCI would not have scaled as quickly and successfully as it did without the energy and enthusiasm of the team, and those who have joined the business through our acquisition strategy. BGF​ has been continuously supportive throughout our partnership, actively helping us identify and unlock growth opportunities.​
