LDC first opened its doors in Yorkshire in 1989 and has a consistent presence ever since. From Sheffield to York via Hull, Leeds and Harrogate – we all live and work in the region. LDC was named ‘Equity Funder of the Year’ at the Insider Yorkshire Dealmakers Awards 2022 and ‘Private Equity Firm of the Year’ at the Yorkshire Rainmakers Awards 2023.

We’re proud to support local causes, including partnerships with Leeds-based cancer support charity Maggie’s and The Greggs Foundation – providing free, nutritious breakfasts for children at Mackie Hill Primary School.
