Rory Quirke, Partner and co-Head of Investments, commented:

“We are honoured for MML Ireland’s achievements last year to be recognised at the Real Deals awards. It’s a great moment for the MML Ireland team and a reminder of how far we’ve come since establishing MML Ireland twelve years ago. It reflects not only the hard work and judgement of our people, but also the quality of the management teams we’ve had the good fortune to support. In particular, a big thank you to Stephanie Leonard and the wider Kyte team for their focus and commitment in building a business of real substance. Their success in driving Kyte’s expansion and securing its future is a credit to them and all that was achieved in our partnership together.”

Neil McGowan, Partner and co-Head of Investments, added:

“I want to acknowledge the continued support from our hugely loyal investors whose belief in what we’re doing has helped us build real momentum. Likewise, we’re grateful to our MML colleagues across London, Paris and New York, whose backing has allowed MML Ireland to thrive in a dynamic and evolving mid-market. We remain committed to backing exceptional management teams and supporting ambitious businesses with the capital and strategic guidance needed to scale. With strong momentum behind us and the continued support of our international colleagues and investors, we’re excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.”
