GCS wins Commercial Due Diligence Provider of the Year at the Mergermarket British Private Equity Awards 2024

GCS (formerly, GRAPH Strategy) is proud to have been named Commercial Due Diligence Provider of the Year at the Mergermarket British Private Equity Awards 2024.

The award reflects both the decision of the judging panel and the support of the industry in the public vote — a recognition of the quality, adaptability and long-term value that our boutique model brings to the UK private equity market.

In a challenging year for the wider industry, we supported over £1 billion of deals, delivered more than 25% growth in CDD fee income, and built new core client relationships while continuing to strengthen existing partnerships. We also invested in expanding our team and adapting our diligence offerings in response to clients’ need for flexibility, ensuring that we remained a trusted partner through a turbulent market.

We are especially grateful to our clients and friends in the industry who voted for us. This recognition underlines the strength of the GCS approach: combining rigorous analysis with commercial insight, delivered by a team that is entrepreneurial, innovative, and committed to long-term relationships.

“This award is a testament to the hard work of our team and the trust placed in us by our clients. We are proud to see our differentiated approach recognised by both the judging panel and the industry. Thank you to everyone who supported us.”

— James Tetherton, Founding Partner, GCS
