With LDC's support, we've been able to capitalise on our business's green credentials - dramatically increasing our production capacity and expanding the scope of our offering."

David Ritchie, CEO
CMS Window Systems

We have invested over £115m to help Scottish businesses to grow and thrive, and have backed six management teams across Scotland in the last five years alone.

We’re an active contributor to the country’s business community and our team is well placed to continue backing management teams in Scotland.

Our current portfolio in Scotland spans oil & gas, technology, support services and healthcare. With the support of our sole investor Lloyds Banking Group, we’re committed to accelerating the growth of Scottish businesses.

Our team is currently supporting the buy and build ambitions of leading optical provider Duncan & Todd and has helped the company to complete seven acquisitions since March 2018.

During the last two years, we have exited investments in CMS Window Systems, Guardian Technologies and Darcy Technologies, which all achieved sustainable growth.
