C86 is fuelled by an exceptional investment team – visionaries and entrepreneurs who have previously collaborated with the leadership team. C86 was founded by the leadership team behind Company 85, carrying with them 25 years of shared delivery history, an established client base across government and enterprise, and a network of specialists proven on the UK’s most demanding programmes.

Team

The foundations of C86 were built in the early 2000s, when members of the core team began working on transformation programmes for major institutions and organisations. Our work has always focused on environments where technology has to perform under pressure, demanding technical expertise, continuous collaboration and excellent relationships.
