The transaction represents Inflexion's largest-ever cash return, according to the company.

Alyn Franklin, CEO at Alcumus, said: “Our journey with Inflexion has seen us transform from a consultancy business to a global leader in technology risk management solutions. Apax recognizes the success we have achieved in the last six years and the growth potential ahead. With such respected and high-profile investors, we are excited to continue our ambitious growth journey and global strategic plans with our unique combination of technology and people.”

Simon Turner, Managing Partner, Inflexion, said: “Alcumus’ stellar growth is a testament to what can be achieved when a great business is led by a management team as capable as it is ambitious. It was a privilege to support their journey of international growth and transition to SaaS, and we are confident they have further to go given their strong product offering in a fast-growing, international market.”
