LDC has cemented its position as the leading mid-market private equity firm in the Midlands, with offices in both Birmingham and Nottingham and over 30 years’ experience of backing management teams across the region.
Carl Castledine partnered with Richard Whitwell and the LDC team to support organic and acquisitive growth at holiday park operator Away Resorts.
LDC hasn’t interfered with us operationally. We are diligent about providing information about what we want to do and how, and then they let us get on with it. The relationship is collaborative, not dictatorial.”
Carl Castledine, CEO
Away Resorts
Our Midlands team has invested over £1.3bn in more than 170 ambitious management teams across the region to help them build market-leading businesses.
We are actively looking to support more ambitious management teams with a clear track record for growth right across the region.

Our current portfolio in the Midlands is incredibly diverse including technology, engineering, travel & leisure businesses. Together they generate combined revenues of more than £3bn and employ more than 7,500 people across the region and beyond.
