As the leading private equity partner in the South, LDC is committed to backing ambitious management teams who want to go that one step further and are looking for investment support to realise their growth plans.
Headquartered in Reading in the Thames Valley, our portfolio spans the South of England from Bournemouth to Brighton, across Kent and Essex and all the way around the M25 to St Albans.
LDC was named Private Equity Firm of the Year at the Business Magazine’s Thames Valley Deals Awards in 2022.
Recent investments include new partnerships with Brighton-headquartered hospitality and leisure venue BOXPARK and cyber-security and cloud-application performance specialist Red Helix.
Exit successes include Aker Systems following a successful 14-month partnership that saw the cloud technology company grow by more than 50%, and digital transformation specialist FSP which more than doubled revenues and headcount during a three year partnership.
The team is also supporting the management teams across its portfolio to pursue their growth ambitions whether by acquiring a competitor, expanding overseas or developing operations.
This year, LDC’s South team has increased its long-term support for Berkshire-based Camp Mohawk. The charity provides a place for children and young people with special needs to learn and achieve their potential. The team has donated their time and provided financial support to help to maintain and update the centre.
Lawrence Dean , Partner and Head of South at LDC, spoke to The Business Magazine about how LDC’s experience and relationship-based approach is helping the region’s businesses to grow.
