Inflexion acquires Alston Elliot

With the fresh capital, Alston Elliot intends to broaden its service offering and expand into other sports to build an international brand.

Inflexion tapped its Enterprise Fund IV, which held a final close on £328m in May 2016. The fund focuses on the UK lower-mid-market and continues to use its predecessor funds' strategies, investing equity of £10-20m for both majority and minority stakes. The vehicle invests across all sectors throughout the UK.
