Episode 11: Graham Cooke - CEO of Zenergi

In this episode of our Dealmaker Podcast series, we talk about the sale of Zenergi to the mid-market private equity firm, ECI.

Jo Sheerin is joined by Graham Cooke, CEO of Zenergi, and Alex Hartley from KPMG as they discuss the story behind the sale of the business and the challenges they faced along the way.

Zenergi is an award-winning customer service company that specialises in energy and provides a range of services including energy procurement, contract management, and energy and carbon reduction solutions. As a partner to the UK Government, they work to promote new jobs and skills, encourage economic growth and prosperity, tackle climate change, and level up the UK as a whole.

Graham speaks about his journey of growing Zenergi from a small regional consultancy in Southampton to the team of 220 that is now one of the UK’s leading energy and environmental consultancies.

We go behind the scenes of this exciting deal as Graham and Alex share their experiences of selling the business, and provide helpful advice to others considering doing the same.
