The Value Enhancement Group was extremely useful in providing programme management structure and rigour to our separation process. It allowed us to take control of the business very quickly, and efficiently with no significant operational issues. We were a fully stand-alone business within three months of the separation. Phil Riley, Orion Media Group
Not only has LDC brought a greater focus to our business planning and improved our financial reporting and corporate governance, the Value Enhancement Group has had a significant input to our Continuous Improvement process, contributing positively to our operations and management of assets. This enables us to be positioned at the forefront of salt manufacturing in Europe. Rob Jones, British Salt

Adding value to you and your business

At LDC we believe that adding business value is what makes our private equity work. Responsible investing requires a serious commitment by all parties to build the business and create sustainable value for all stakeholders.

The approach adopted by LDC involves providing a gateway for management teams to work with LDC individuals who have specialist commercial and operational knowledge that can make a real difference to a business.

This system combined with LDC’s ability to provide access to a network of knowledgeable and like minded individuals and premier events provides management teams with a unique private equity relationship.
