Over the years we have taken LeMieux from a specialist horsewear business to a globally recognised brand. We knew the time was right to accelerate our rate and scale of growth, which is why partnering with LDC was a natural step for us given their track-record of supporting brands like ours and taking them to the next level."

LeMieux

Robert Lemieux said: “Both Lisa and I are excited by this new phase of the company’s journey – we have an incredible team here who’ve really risen to the challenge, especially with the added pressures of Covid and Brexit.”

Colin Porter, Non-Executive Chairman of LeMieux, said: “LeMieux’s products have a hallmark of quality and are synonymous with safety and performance, which has earned the brand a trusted reputation amongst riders and horse lovers across the world. The business is now at a very exciting point in time, where there’s a significant opportunity to scale-up and make it a real household name in the industry. Collectively the team has a wealth of experience in taking retail brands to the international stage and growing e-commerce, which makes this partnership a very exciting opportunity.”

Joe Tager, Investment Director at LDC in London, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Lisa and Robert, who have already grown LeMieux to become a market leading brand in the equestrian community. Together, we have identified significant growth opportunities, which include expanding its already-impressive global footprint, further broadening its product-range, and investing in digital sales and marketing. The business has shown consistent growth over the years and is well positioned to deliver its ambitious plans.”
