A partnership to support the next stage of growth
LDC backed scarlettabbott’s management team, led by CEO Jeremy Petty, in December 2022 to support the team’s growth strategy.
Industry heavyweight Euan Jarvie, former UK & Ireland CEO of the multinational media and digital marketing communications company Dentsu International, has also been appointed as Non-Executive Chairman.
Jeremy and the team will now further invest in scarlettabbott’s products, services and people to enhance the service it provides to clients and increase its support for organisations in the UK and overseas.
The partnership with LDC will also support the team’s goal of doubling headcount within the next five years.
This is a hugely exciting time for scarlettabbott. We have seen significant growth in recent years through our focus on creating a better world of work for our colleagues, our clients and the industry as a whole.
The partnership with LDC represents a great opportunity to bring in not only significant investment to our business, but also vast experience and expertise, especially with Euan Jarvie joining the team as our new Non-Executive Chairman.”
