Leading business and digital transformation consultancy Enfuse Group has secured a strategic investment from private equity firm Agathos, with the aim to drive the firm’s next chapter of growth.
Established in 2015 by Graeme Curwen (CEO) and Harry Vazanias (Director of Consulting), Enfuse Group has over the past decade grown into an award-winning consultancy specialised in change, transformation and data services. The firm has around 75 consultants, and a network of specialist associates.
With the aim to continue its growth into the next decade, the London-based consultancy has now onboarded private equity as a strategic partner. Working with Agathos, the management team will ramp up investments in capabilities, solutions, people and partnerships with technology vendors. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
“This partnership with Agathos marks a significant milestone in Enfuse’s journey,” said Curwen. “They will help us deepen our client relationships and reinforce our position as a trusted, values-led transformation partner.”
Agathos is a UK-origin private equity group which invests in promising companies valued up to £25 million. The investor is known for its partner-led approach to building portfolio companies.
“From our very first conversation, it was clear that Agathos shared our belief in building high-growth, commercially-minded organisations – but doing it the right way,” Curwen said. “We were drawn to their values-driven approach, their belief in our vision, and their growth mindset.”
“As a certified B Corp, we’re proud to prove that purpose and performance can go hand in hand – and we’re excited to have found a partner who shares that conviction as we scale the next chapter of our growth.”
Bolstering capabilities
With support from Agathos, Enfuse will strengthen its core capabilities such as Digital Transformation, Operating Model Design and Change Management, and expand its technology-focused offerings such as Operational Intelligence and Data Intelligence. The firm will also invest in its sector capabilities in retail, hospitality, travel & transport and higher education, and in its partnerships with leading technology vendors and delivery partners.
To help guide its next stage of growth, Enfuse Group has appointed Charles Vivian as Chair of its Board. He commented: “As one of the fastest growing, most highly decorated and relevant consultancies in the UK, the Enfuse team has built a very impressive business to date. I very much look forward to seeing where it goes next with an excellent partner like Agathos by their side and to playing a more significant role in the next chapter of their journey.”
Hugh Costello, Partner at Agathos, commented: “In a competitive and complex market, Enfuse has built a reputation as a leader in delivering value, combining senior strategic insight with deep capabilities across transformation, change, and data. We’re excited to support Enfuse’s next phase of growth, where the focus will be on exceeding the evolving needs of the market.”
