LDC is an active supporter of business communities across the North East and Scotland. We established our on-the-ground presence in Scotland in 2008 and opened an office Newcastle in 2020 – becoming the first mid-market private equity business to have a permanent base in the North East.

We’re passionate about the communities we work in – our team all live and work locally. We’re proud to support The Greggs Foundation, a network of school Breakfast Clubs across the North East and Scotland, providing nutritious meals for children who might otherwise go without.
