London, UK – 10 July 2024:

• QX, one of the world’s fastest-growing business process management companies, has reached a deal for Long Ridge to become a significant investment partner.
• The growth investment of £100 million+ investment comes on the heels of exceptional growth at QX. Long Ridge’s investment will help support further platform development and global expansion.
• QX took a deliberate approach to finding the right partner to support the next phase and is enthusiastic in their selection of Long Ridge.

QX Global Group (“QX”) is a leading provider of business process management (“BPM”) services. QX has built a uniquely integrated platform that leverages its BPM expertise along with consulting services and automation technologies (including artificial intelligence) to unlock value for its customers. As QX seeks to further expand its platform capabilities and global growth footprint, it is pleased to announce that it has secured a growth investment of £100 million+ from Long Ridge Equity Partners (“Long Ridge”).

QX specialises in business & digital transformation, BPM and consulting services within the accounting, recruitment, real estate, manufacturing, public sector, higher education, healthcare, consumer packaged goods, retail, and utilities and energy sectors. Based on its unique capabilities and specialized approach, the company saw revenue grow by approximately 30% over the past twelve months, and is rapidly emerging as a global leader in the space.

QX spent over a year considering the attributes of a potential investment partner and met a number of potential investment firms as part of the process. Ultimately, the QX leadership team hand-picked Long Ridge because of their experience in the tech-enabled services industry and excellent track-record partnering with fast-growing, high potential businesses like QX.

“The Long Ridge team brings a wealth of senior experience in the BPM and consulting sectors. I am so proud of everything that has been achieved at QX so far, and I couldn’t have asked for a more impressive and experienced investment partner to support the next stage of the QX growth story.”

Chris Robinson, Founder of QX Global Group

The partnership brings together one of the fastest-growing global BPM specialists with a recognised US-based growth equity firm with a stellar history of helping build some of the world’s leading companies in the technology and tech-enabled services sectors.

“We are very excited to welcome QX to the Long Ridge portfolio and have very high hopes of a truly rewarding growth partnership with Pom and his team over the coming years.”
