Cairneagle is delighted to have been announced as ‘Consultant of the Year – to Deal-making’ at this year’s EducationInvestor Awards, which took place on the 13th June at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London.
For over a decade the EducationInvestor Awards “have been celebrating the very best in education,” and we are proud that Cairneagle has been recognised at the annual awards ceremony for the sixth time.
The EducationInvestor commented that the judges admired how our work singularly focusing on the education industry has diversified, covering a wide range of sub-sectors and different markets. They found Cairneagle’s measured outcomes for 2023 were very impressive, from number of projects to sector coverage, global reach and thought leadership.
Founded in 2001, Cairneagle has supported strategic decisions made by Chief Executives and boards of educational institutions and companies supplying services to the sector, as well as private equity firms, by bringing structure, insight, and judgement to situations of uncertainty and material financial impact.
Cairneagle’s exclusive focus on education gives us unparalleled depth and insight into the industry’s dynamics and challenges. This expertise has built a strong reputation based on our rigorous data-driven approach, our analytical audacity and our determination to add value for our clients.

Guided by our evidence-based approach, the Cairneagle team provides insight and judgement on challenging business issues. Our commitment to applying a commercial lens empowers education operators and investors, making us trusted advisors in the sector.”
Sam Lecacheur said, “To be recognised again by EducationInvestor is an honour and a privilege. It demonstrates the dedication of our team to the sector and our clients. It is also a testament to the breadth and depth of the deals we have supported which range from early years through to corporate training and from education institutions through to EdTech and education services.”
