With the strategic support, guidance and flexibility of the team at LDC we’ve successfully evolved from a public sector procurement business that worked predominantly in the North West to a multi-disciplinary group that now operates internationally.”

International expansion

Over the same period, we helped the business to expand internationally and launch in the US, in addition to diversifying its offer from a sole focus on the public sector to both public and private sector work.

Together this enabled Inprova to expand its headcount by 100 per cent to 70 people and treble revenues to £15.3m for the financial year ending June 2018.

A deal of two halves

LDC completed the sale of Inprova Group in two separate deals. In December 2018, AIM-listed Inspired Energy plc acquired Inprova’s energy division, with the existing management team acquiring the non-energy procurement business upon completion.
