Inspirit Capital, with PCB Partners co-founders Ben Doltis and Tim Farazmand, has announced the acquisition of Palladium Group, a London and New York-based digital consulting firm that joined Next 15's portfolio in May 2019. Specialising in private equity advisory services, Palladium maintained significant operational independence under Next 15, a decentralised network of specialist consultancies, agencies, product builders, and venture creators. The transaction represents another notable deal for PCB Partners, following its recent appointment by Qodea to support its European M&A strategy (see Qodea sets sights on European expansion | TechMarketView).
Recent M&A activity, including the 2023 merger with digital spend consultancy, Digital Diligence Limited, and the acquisition of commercial consulting firm, White Space Strategy, has created a firm spanning transaction advisory and commercial consulting. Recently recognised in the Financial Times 2025 list of leading UK management consultancies, the combined group has developed what appears to be a strong position in AI advisory services. Notably, Palladium also operates PRISM, a privacy-first deal intelligence platform designed specifically for private equity investment decisions. James Prebble, CEO and Co-founder of Palladium, emphasised the company's ambitions for US expansion and continued leadership in digital advisory for private equity.
