ECI shortlisted for 3 awards at Allstars 2026

Following a strong year for the ECI team, we have been shortlisted for three awards at the GP Bullhound Allstars Awards 2026.

We are delighted to be nominated for Growth and Buyout Fund of the Year, alongside two individual nominations for Investor of the Year.

Daniel Bailey, has been nominated in recognition of his work in delivering the exit of Peoplesafe for a 2.7x return, and helping steer CSL into ECI's first continuation vehicle, which delivered a 3.5x return.

Rory Nath has been nominated for leading our first European platform deal, with our investment in Paragin Group, the Dutch HQ'd market leader in mission-critical assessment software

Investor Allstars, now in its 24th year, celebrates the founders, investors and companies driving innovation and growth across Europe's technology ecosystem. Often called the Oscars of the tech world, it brings the community together to recognise the people and firms behind the year's standout performances.

The last 12 months have been a busy and rewarding period for ECI, continuing our focus on backing high-growth, resilient businesses and supporting our portfolio companies to achieve their growth ambitions. To see the team recognised at a fund level, and to have two of our investors shortlisted individually, reflects both the calibre of the management teams we back and the hard work that goes on behind every deal.

Congratulations to Daniel and Rory, and to all the investors and entrepreneurs shortlisted this year.
