LDC is a relationship based private equity business. We exist to create wealth for individuals, businesses, communities and our parent, the Lloyds Banking Group, by investing in and supporting ambitious management teams and high quality businesses.
In its 30 year history LDC has invested in over 430 UK businesses and currently has a portfolio in excess of 70 businesses which account for an investment of over £1.4billion and a cumulative enterprise value in excess of £2.5billion.
Our ambition is to remain the leading mid market private equity house in the UK and it is our intention to invest £2billion over the next 5 years.
LDC’s investment philosophy is predicated on supporting incumbent management teams whose ambition for their business is realistic, scalable and passionate.
We are the only mid market private provider with a network of regional offices in the UK which provide us with an opportunity to interact at a community and local business level, and to meet with local businesses on their patch.
Selecting Hong Kong to base our first international office was also not a difficult decision. It is a gateway to Asia and it provides LDC with access to the growing Asian marketplace.
With such a strong UK – Asia axis the LDC team is able to assist many UK based portfolio businesses that wish to identify and pursue a range of value adding international commercial options. This ranges from supplier sourcing, outsourcing, market entry, and partnerships right through to business development and exit options.
So if you are in a business looking for private equity partner that will help you take your business further I would urge you to take a look at our website www.ldc.co.uk and our blog site www.ldclessordinary.com and then get in touch!
