We’ve completed more than 20 investments in ICT businesses since 2012 with a total enterprise value of £1.4bn.

The sector is integral to the future of the UK economy. Covering everything from managed services and cyber security to infrastructure, applications and consulting – it’s large, varied and complex. And with almost all businesses reliant on these services to operate and grow, it’s a highly competitive market too.

Value creation is as diverse as the businesses. Making complementary acquisitions can broaden capabilities and scale. Developing new products helps diversify revenue streams. Making business improvements can maximise organic growth.

Whatever the growth strategy, our experience is underpinned by our extensive network of Non-Executive Directors, who each have decades of sector expertise.

Our investment team take part in industry events – Investment Director Aylesh Patel frequently joins panel discussions including; CRN UK’s XChange Conference where he shared his thoughts on the importance of finding a differentiator to determine how special your business is and ultimately secure growth investment, the TMT Finance’s World Congress on M&A and growth strategies in the cloud and managed services sector and at a Cavell Group’s event discussing investors appetite for cloud/telecoms financing.

Our current portfolio includes a diverse range of telecoms businesses including Onecom, babble, Sohonet, FSP, Wifinity, Acora, Cellhire, Commsworld, Aspire and Kerv.

We were looking for a team with experience of working in our sector, but also one committed to supporting our acquisition strategy. The team at LDC ticked both boxes and delivered on their promises.”
