Ambitious partnerships
We know that no one knows a business as well as the people that run it. That's why our flexible partnerships with management teams are based on trust and understanding.
Far from it being about taking control, we back the ambitious business leaders we invest in to continue to lead and grow their business.
Ours is a supporting role, focused on furthering growth through investment and expertise.
Through our partnership, we're ready to support management teams every step of the way on their journey.
Terry Musson and Dan East of Amberon discuss their first experience with private equity and how LDC helped to steer rather than control their business.
