Inflexion backs management buyout of ITM
Inflexion Private Equity is pleased to announce that it has backed the management buyout of Independent Transition Management Limited (“ITM”), the leading provider of specialist data services to the pensions and financial services markets.
Founded in 2003, ITM specialises in technology-led data audit, management administration and migration services, working with pension funds, providers, trusts and administrators as well as other generalist financial institutions. The company utilises proprietary software and specialist expertise it has built over 15 years to provide critical and complex data services for its blue-chip clients in the private and public sectors, including Aviva, Legal & General, Cabinet Office and BT. Headquartered in London, ITM currently employs 120 staff across the UK, with additional offices in Guildford and Edinburgh.
The transaction fulfils the founders’ wishes to step away as part of an orderly transition process yet retain continuity in management and the values that ITM has been built on. The existing management team led by Darran Blount will partner with Inflexion to drive the business in its next phase of growth.
We look forward to developing ITM services to exploit the growth opportunities underpinned by regulatory and industry drivers in our core markets, broaden our range of services and support our expansion into adjacent markets. Inflexion’s relevant experience in these areas will be invaluable as we work together to drive these developments.
ITM is a clear leader in its space, with a strong reputation built on its high quality technical staff, bespoke proprietary software and long-term relationships with blue-chip customers. The company has established a solid platform to exploit the positive dynamics in its markets, as firms turn to outsourced specialists to manage their increasing volume of data.
The Inflexion deal team comprised Andrew Mainwaring, Abhishek Majumdar, Robin Senivassen and James Stevens. In addition to Duncan Howorth and Darran Blount, the ITM team includes Consulting Director Maurice Titley, Sales and Marketing Director Matt Dodds and Chief Financial Officer Gurmit Dhesi.
This investment was made by affiliated funds advised by Inflexion Private Equity Partners LLP.
