Inflexion acquires Times Higher Education from TPG Capital
We also congratulate TPG Capital on the successful sale of Times Higher Education (THE) to Inflexion. THE has become a stand-alone business for the first time, having been carved out from its parent business TES Global, heralding a new chapter of growth. The sale follows a period of significant growth, in which THE has transitioned from being a primarily UK-focused media company to a global data and insights business working with around 700 universities across the world. The deal encompasses THE’s wide range of activities including its data, editorial, summits, hiring, branding and consultancy services.
We are a leading advisor to investors and corporate clients in the education sector, with expertise in delivery, publishing, EdTech and support services. Our topic expertise spans across K-12, Higher Education, and Professional / Corporate Training. We have advised on landmark deals, with these recent engagements being great examples of our growing presence and expertise in this sector.
