ECI promotes Pike and Roberts to director

ECI Partners has promoted Suzanne Pike and Stephen Roberts to director in its London and Manchester offices respectively.
Pike (pictured) will take on the role of origination director at the firm, having joined the GP in 2011 from Coleman Research Group. Since joining the business she has worked on a number of deals made by ECI's ninth and 10th funds, as well as identifying bolt-on targets for portfolio companies.
Roberts' promotion comes less than two years after he joined ECI in April 2015 from PwC. He spent nine years at the advisory firm, of which five were in the corporate finance division. He will take on the role of investment director and currently works on investments including Imagesound, Tusker and Evans Cycles.
ECI made a number of senior promotions last year, including the appointments of Caroline Dent as partner, John Hayhurst as head of its northern office and Chris Watt to its investment committee.
