Supporting international expansion
Led by Simon Goodenough, DSP has experienced strong and consistent growth, driven by a combination of investment in its people, investment in new product and service capability and complementary strategic acquisitions.
LDC invested in DSP in October 2023 to support Simon and the management team in enhancing its product and services capability, both in the UK and new international markets, with its acquisitive growth strategy targeting expansion into North America and Europe.
The LDC team has a strong track record in helping management teams of technology businesses to expand through acquisition, and this makes them the perfect partner to help us achieve our ambitions.”
Within the first month of partnering with LDC, the management team acquired Canada-based Eclipsys Solutions, to grow its Oracle Cloud services offering and expand its geographical presence in North America. This transaction grew revenues to more than £75m and employee numbers to 250.
