Mid-market firm Inflexion has tripled its investment with the sale of UK fibre optic network infrastructure business Glide to US-based private equity firm Alinda Capital, which also owns and operates Heathrow Airport.

The deal is valued at £200m, a person familiar with the transaction told Financial News's sister publication Private Equity News.
