Data Intellect named winner at UK Private Capital Vision 2026 Awards

Sovereign Capital Partners is proud to announce that Data Intellect has been named a winner at UK Private Capital's Vision 2026 Awards for Northern Ireland.

These awards celebrate the best teams backed by private capital across the UK. Winners are assessed across four recognition themes: growth, competitiveness, innovation and agility, and sustainability.

Data Intellect, a global data consultancy headquartered in Belfast, provides specialist services to large-scale organisations across the capital markets sector, including some of the world's leading investment banks and largest hedge funds. Since Sovereign invested in the business in May 2021, Data Intellect has grown significantly, deepening its operational foundations and expanding into North America and Asia Pacific.

The judging panel praised Data Intellect's nomination highly across all four recognition themes, noting the resilience of its business model and its strong people-led approach to sustainable scale.

Steve Turner, CEO, Data Intellect, said: "We are delighted and honoured to be recognised by UK Private Capital as a category winner for Northern Ireland in the Vision 2026 initiative. This award is a tremendous testament to the talent, dedication and ambition of the entire Data Intellect team, whose expertise and commitment continue to drive our growth and deliver real impact for our clients around the world."

Jonathan Thorne, Partner, Sovereign Capital Partners, said: "Winning a UK Private Capital Vision 2026 award is a fantastic achievement and a true reflection of the exceptional business Steve and the team have built at Data Intellect. We invested in Data Intellect because we were attracted to its market position, working with some of the world's top investment banks and largest hedge funds, and doing work that is absolutely mission critical to their day-to-day operations. Since partnering with them, we have been consistently impressed by their dedication, their people-first culture and their ability to scale. This award validates what we saw when we first invested, a talented management team with the ambition and capability to grow something truly special."
