Ancala investors take to the skies at its 2024 AGM

First, there were detailed updates from the Ancala team and portfolio company CEOs on Ancala’s growth, the continued outperformance of our funds and updates on specific portfolio companies.

Ancala then hosted a value creation roundtable which brought together portfolio CEOs, an Ancala Industry Partner and our Head of Asset Management to explain the opportunities and challenges to creating value within mid-market infrastructure. The morning concluded with an open Q&A with Ancala’s Partners where future opportunities and considerations for Ancala and its portfolio were discussed in more detail.

After lunch, investors boarded a catamaran off the Mediterranean coastline to experience a live search and rescue demonstration. They were able to witness the incredible life-saving missions that Ancala portfolio company Avincis delivers every single day.

Following the demonstration, investors toured Avincis’ helicopter maintenance site on the outskirts of Alicante. Here, Avincis CEO John Boag and his team shared an update on the business’ development since Ancala carved it out from Babcock International. They also provided a more in-depth look behind the scenes at what keeps Europe’s largest emergency aviation company operational, 24/7, 365 days a year, and its relentless commitment to excellence.

The group also took flight in an Airbus Super Puma helicopter for a ride through Alicante, across the coastline and over Benidorm. It was an unforgettable experience.

Avincis is more agile, more focused, and more determined than ever to lead the emergency aviation industry in saving lives and protecting communities across Europe and around the world.

As Alicante is situated in Valencia, the undisputed home of paella, our guests were treated to some excellent traditional Spanish food following an action-packed day.

This year’s AGM was another demonstration of exactly how Ancala delivers infrastructure investment differently.

Thanks to everyone who made the time and effort to join us, and to the Avincis team for making the AGM such a success. The Ancala team was delighted to spend quality time with so many of our investors. We now need to give some thought to how we top it next year!
