Growth Capital Partners has announced a new investment in Agilia Infrastructure Partners, a specialist UK infrastructure advisory firm. The deal is the third investment from GCP Fund VI, with founders and employees investing alongside GCP. Agilia provides senior consultancy across the full lifecycle of major infrastructure projects, with more than 100 infrastructure specialists who have worked on projects such as the Thames Tideway Tunnel and Sizewell C. The company advises on projects and programmes with a capital value of more than £100 billion, across energy, water, transport and defence. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in London, Agilia has offices in Teesside and Peterborough. GCP's backing will support Agilia's next phase of development, including further investment in its team. 'Businesses that can demonstrate genuine subject matter expertise and a human premium, rooted in deep, hands-on experience and the trust of their clients will continue to be a growth engine of the UK economy, and Agilia has that in spades,' said Ravi Monteiro, partner at GCP. GCP was founded in 1999 and invests in technology and specialist services businesses.
