On Thursday 7 November 2024, Gerald Edelman hosted the second annual Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA) Awards, bringing together more than 150 members of the UK search and ETA community. The evening celebrated individuals and organisations pushing the ETA model forward, providing succession solutions and unlocking value for exiting owners.
Birch Faraday Capital was delighted to be awarded the Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Award for ESG Excellence 2025, recognising the firm’s acquisition of Highbury Support Services and its ongoing commitment to promoting excellence and delivering high-quality care across its growing group of care businesses.
This recognition follows Birch Faraday Capital’s Self-Funded Deal of the Year Award in 2024, which was awarded for the acquisition of Mediline Supported Living Ltd, highlighting the firm’s consistent approach to responsible ownership and long-term value creation. The judges recognised Birch Faraday Capital’s ESG Excellence for its focus on quality of care, governance, and long-term stewardship across its portfolio, alongside its commitment to building resilient organisations that support service users, staff, and local communities.
Birch Faraday Capital extended its thanks to Gerald Edelman and Carl Lundberg for continuing to foster a vibrant, inclusive and genuinely passionate ETA community – one that celebrates ambition while encouraging collaboration in equal measure. Over the past three years within the network, the firm has been continually inspired by the openness, generosity and willingness to share knowledge that defines the ETA ecosystem, creating an environment where collective success is genuinely shared.
