Our Story

Cairneagle was founded in 2001 as an independent generalist consulting firm, and since then we support strategic decisions that chief executives, boards, service providers, and private equity firms have to make by bringing structureinsight and judgment to situations of uncertainty and material financial impact.

The winning of the first EducationInvestor award for consultants to the Education Sector in 2015 cemented the arrival of Cairneagle’s education practice as a go-to provider in the space. Education now makes up the majority of our practice, and with 500+ projects conducted in the space, we have grown to be a leading strategy consultancy in the sector both in the UK and internationally.

We advise education and training institutions and providers of technology and services to the sector on corporate and business strategy. We also support trade and financial investors in education businesses with portfolio reviews, M&A screens, and both buy-side and sell-side commercial due diligence.

Our Growth Journey

Our partners, with backgrounds in strategy and over 20 years of experience in the industry, are involved in every project, supported by a team of experienced consultants. Our work is underpinned by deep expertise and commitment to excellence, while we strive to add value for our clients through a rigorous, data-driven, and analytical approach.

In 2022, we combined forces with VWV, a leading legal and business services provider in the education sector, demonstrating our businesses’ ongoing commitment to investment and development as part of our growth and diversification strategy.
