We are sorry to have to share the sad news that Peter Mead passed away in recent days.
Peter worked for Evolution Capital spanning three decades between 2007 – 2021, and is recognised as the greatest deal originator this company has had the pleasure of working with.
Whilst at Evolution Capital, Peter originated over 30 deals for leading telecoms and IT companies including: AdEPT, Acora, BDR, Ridgewall, Spiritel, 6DG, NineTelecom… and still to this day our team are benefiting from the relationships he built with those across the sector.
The master of his craft, Peter in fact trained over a dozen deal originators during his tenure.
Anyone who ever met Peter, even the once, will remember him as a huge character, incredibly tenacious and yet, composed and patient.
“Peter was known by hundreds, if not thousands of entrepreneurs and leaders in the TMT space. Some will know his name, many will know his face, but his voice will be remembered by all. He will be sorely missed.”
Nigel Cook
CEO Evolution Capital
Here are some words shared by those who knew and worked with Peter:

“Very sad news. I knew Peter through my time with Evolution, and he certainly was a larger than life character. His sense of humour, stories, and cheeky banter were second to none. He certainly did things in his own special way, with his own special energy. I’m certain he will be sorely missed by all his life touched”
John Gell,
