BDO has provided vendor financial due diligence to support Helio Intelligence Group Limited ahead of the investment by ECI partners. The investment represents a realisation for Bowmark Capital and Bridgepoint, with Bridgepoint reinvesting as a minority shareholder.

Founded in 1998, Helio Intelligence (previously DeHavilland) empowers its clients with expert-led insights so they can track and interpret political, regulatory and policy developments across the UK and Europe.

The company combines more than 25 years of political monitoring data with on-the-ground expert insight to deliver real-time political intelligence and bespoke analysis to over 1,000 customers, including corporates, non-profit organisations, and investment firms. Its solutions combine human expertise with an AI platform to deliver faster, richer and more relevant intelligence through interactive dashboards, analysis notes and strategic counsel.
 

"Helio is a high-performing business that is able to combine a strong data-driven platform with deep insights. These key strengths position it well against a market backdrop of AI disruption and volatility. It was fantastic to work with the team and to see a successful result, with good preparation (particularly in respect of key datasets) an important factor in this."
