SEP Backs Enate With Significant Investment as Process Orchestration Market Grows Strongly
Enate, a UK-based software company, which provides a market leading process orchestration and AI solution used by global service providers, including IHG, TMF and EY, has secured a significant investment from Scottish Equity Partners (SEP). SEP is a leading European growth equity firm, specialising in enterprise software and technology businesses.
With this investment, Enate will double down on AI and orchestration R&D, while continuing to scale customer operations across Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. Market demand for process orchestration software continues to grow rapidly, with Enate hitting 30% annualised growth over the last three years. According to industry analysts, the overall process orchestration market is expected to reach $22 billion by 2030.
Enate's solution powers large service providers to run complex, global operations with greater consistency and control. It connects people, systems and processes through one simple platform, giving business leaders the visibility and data needed to improve efficiency and deliver global services at scale.
James Hall, CEO of Enate and former Founder of GenFour said, 'We've hit a tipping point. Process orchestration is no longer a niche idea, it's a core foundation of digital transformation and AI deployment. Enate is an established pioneer of this movement. SEP's backing is a huge validation. They're experienced growth equity investors with a strong track record in enterprise software. This is about scaling up with the right partner, strengthening our product and AI capabilities, and taking Enate to even more service providers globally.'
Tim Ankers, Director at SEP, commented: 'We've followed Enate's progress closely over the years and have been impressed by the value they deliver to customers. We're delighted to now be partnering with James, Kit and the team, providing significant investment to support product development and global expansion. Enate fits with our strategy of backing high-growth enterprise software companies solving real operational challenges.'
Daniel Muranda, Principal at SEP, added. 'There's significant potential for service providers to improve customer experience and operational performance with orchestration and automation technologies. Enate's offering already powers some of the world's most complex organisations to do just that. Crucially, it enables the safe and scalable adoption of Generative and Agentic AI, while meeting operational and regulatory needs.'
'Too many businesses are still trying to deliver global services with spreadsheets and shared inboxes.' said Founder and CTO, Kit Cox. 'This investment signals a new chapter for Enate, as it scales to meet global demand for orchestration and AI in service delivery. Enate was built to cope with the reality of running modern services. They're often complex and chaotic, but we're changing that from the inside out.'
Existing investor, Mercia Ventures, continues to support the company's growth journey. Mercia's early belief and ongoing investment have helped Enate build strong foundations, accelerate product innovation and expand internationally. Marina Fuentes, Investor at Mercia Ventures added 'We're very pleased to see this confidence echoed by SEP's significant backing, which marks another important milestone in Enate's scale-up journey.'

Air Canada flight attendant strike enters third day, bleeding carrier $60M daily: Analyst
Air Canada ( has paused its financial guidance as its flight attendants' strike enters its third day, costing the airline an estimated $60 million in daily revenue, according to National Bank analyst Cameron Doerksen. Previously, Doerksen had forecast Air Canada's third-quarter revenue at $68 million. The airline is still generating some revenue because Air Canada Express regional flights continue. These flights account for roughly 20 per cent of passengers, but likely represent a smaller share of revenue, he says in a note. Last Saturday, Air Canada's flight attendants went on strike, grounding most of the airline's flights. However, the federal government intervened, directing the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to impose a process of binding arbitration, which the CIRB did on Sunday. Subsequently, the CIRB issued a return-to-work order, directing both Air Canada and its flight attendants to resume operations. The Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents the flight attendants, has not complied. In response, the CIRB declared the walkout illegal and ordered the union to provide written confirmation by noon Monday that it has revoked the strike authorization. Although the airline is not paying to operate flights during the strike, it continues to face significant fixed costs. For comparison, in the early months of the COVID-19 shutdown, Air Canada's daily EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) loss was $9 million. This time, Doerksen estimates losses could reach $25 million per day since operations are structured for a quick restart. National Bank's EBITDA forecast for the third quarter remains at $1.3 billion. Lower-than-projected jet fuel prices might partially offset the labour disruption costs, however. Doerksen cites fuel at $0.85 per litre versus $0.90, and $0.95 per litre projected in Air Canada's fourth quarter, which could provide a $185 million boost to National Bank's 2025 EBITDA estimate. Doerksen doesn't expect the strike to last much longer, citing the disruption to travellers and the broader Canadian economy. Once resolved, he expects a 40 per cent increase in flight attendant compensation, representing a 1.2 per cent overall cost increase for Air Canada over four years. 'Considering that the same union represents most flight attendants at other airlines, whatever contract structure Air Canada negotiates will be a template for future contracts at other carriers,' he added. 'As such, we do not see Air Canada being competitively disadvantaged.' Doerksen expects Air Canada to continue to outperform, despite current negative sentiment. As at 11:00 a.m. ET Monday, Air Canada's stock was trading at $19.42 per share, down 1.74 per cent.

Here's the latest in the labour dispute between Air Canada and its flight attendants
OTTAWA — Air Canada flight attendants remain on strike despite back-to-work orders by the Canada Industrial Relations Board. Over the weekend, the federal government asked the board to send the two sides to binding arbitration and order an end to the job action. But the union is challenging the order in Federal Court, and the 10,000 workers have stayed on strike. This morning the labour board declared the strike unlawful and ordered the union's leadership to tell the flight attendants to go back to work. Here's the latest. All times ET. 9:30 a.m. Prime Minister Mark Carney says he's disappointed Air Canada and the union representing its flight attendants weren't able to reach a deal after eight months of negotiations. He tells reporters on Parliament Hill he is urging both sides to quickly resolve the situation. 9 a.m. Air Canada says the Canada Industrial Relations Board has declared the strike unlawful and has ordered the union's leadership to direct its members to return to work. The order came as picketers continued to march around the Terminal 1 departure doors at Toronto Pearson International Airport early Monday morning. Chants reverberated through the sliding doors and into the airport terminal, where passengers approached Air Canada employees to ask about alternatives to their cancelled flights.
