LDC was named ‘Private Equity Firm of the Year’ at the Business Magazine’s Thames Valley Deals Awards in 2024 and won ‘Large Deal of the Year’ in 2023. We’re proud of our long-term support for Berkshire-based Camp Mohawk to provide a place for children and young people with special needs to learn and achieve their potential.
