As a leading private equity partner, LDC is committed to backing ambitious management teams across the capital.

Our London team has invested almost £1.7bn backing more than 250 management teams since 1981.

We have a wide range of sector specialisms including technology, telecoms, media healthcare, consumer and business services.

Our most recent investments include Etrading Software, a technology company that designs, builds and operates solutions for global capital markets, and leading managed IT-services business Acora.

We have helped many of our portfolio companies to expand internationally; nearly half have operations in the US. Many of our portfolio companies are on buy and build growth strategies and we are supporting the likes of Onecom, Kerv and Croud to scale through acquisition.

As part of LDC’s pledge to invest in at least 100 UK mid-market businesses in the next five years, we are committed to support the growth of businesses across all sectors, backed by our partnerships with the corporate finance community.

Our London team have chosen to support London’s Air Ambulance charity to help them provide an advanced trauma team to critically injured people.
