About us
We began trading in 2002 and a lot has changed in foreign exchange since then.
One thing that has remained consistent is our focus on providing our clients with the best experience possible.
In 2016, Inflexion Private Equity became a majority shareholder of Global Reach Partners.
Inflexion is a private equity firm that invests in high growth businesses with ambitious management teams and working in partnership with them to accelerate growth. Inflexion’s flexible approach allows it to back both majority and minority investments, typically investing £10m to £200m of equity in each deal.
Inflexion helps businesses achieve the next stage of their development through international expansion, operational improvements, digital expertise, access to Inflexion’s networks and funding for acquisitions.
In 2018, Inflexion retained a leading position in Preqin’s annual global league for consistently top performing buyout funds. It is the only UK fund to be ranked in the top 10 and has also won a number of industry accolades for its success in growing the businesses it backs.
Funds advised by Inflexion Private Equity Partners LLP have funds under management of c.£4.5bn.

The history of

Our experts have been helping clients for 17 years and in that time, we’ve grown to employ more than 130 talented people. Our clients have access to more than 140 currencies and in the last year alone we have transacted more than £4.8bn of foreign currency.
We’ve built a superb team, which has outstanding foreign exchange knowledge at its core and demonstrates highly valuable skills to benefit our clients on a day-to-day basis.
In 2016, we further bolstered our business with the backing of leading UK private equity firm, Inflexion Private Equity. They invest in high growth, entrepreneurial businesses with ambitious management teams and work in partnership with them to deliver growth.
Later the same year we acquired FC Exchange, a leading international money transfer business specialising in helping individuals with their personal foreign exchange requirements.
The integration of FC Exchange into the wider Global Reach Group has meant that, as well as being at the forefront of corporate foreign exchange, we are also able to offer the same level of service to private individuals.
