Unquote looks back at how the travel and leisure sector has fared, and speaks with Gaëlle d’Engremont, partner and head of the food & consumer team at PAI Partners, about the GP's recent deal for ECG and where the opportunities will arise.

However, between the vaccine rollout, and the repeal of many public health directives, life has returned to these beleaguered businesses, and private equity firms are presented with clear survivors in need of a capital injection to transform them into consumer stalwarts.
