Private Equity - Manchester

As the leading mid-market private equity firm in the North West, LDC backs ambitious management teams across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire, Merseyside, and Cumbria from our Manchester office.

For more than 20 years, our team has been at the forefront of supporting some of the North West’s most exciting businesses.

The team has maintained a record level of investment in the last two years, most recently with artificial intelligence-based talent analytics platform Horsefly and award-winning provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions Talos360.

LDC was named Private Equity Team of the Year at the Insider North West Dealmakers Awards 2022.

Investments in the region in 2022 also included education-tech specialist Avantis, Manchester-based digital agency CTI Group, Alderley Edge-based software solutions company IEG4 and Ellesmere Port-headquartered EMS, one of the UK’s leading providers of mobile clinical solutions to the healthcare sector.

The Manchester team also exited its investment in SRL Traffic Systems after helping the management team to grow revenues by 72% during our two-year partnership.

The team has increased its support for the local community through its charity partnerships. LDC was named one of Wood Street Mission’s Heroes for 2022 for donating children’s books, clothing and other essential items to support children and families living on low incomes across Manchester and Salford.
