LDC’s annual healthcare sector dinner took place in London in November, bringing together a range of leaders from across the sector. Hosted by LDC’s national healthcare sector team, guests included leaders from LDC’s portfolio and the wider market, a range of experienced Non-Executive Directors and Chairs, and experts in the corporate finance community.
The evening included networking alongside interesting discussion and viewpoints on the healthcare sector and the ways that private equity investment can support the growth plans of some of the most exciting UK healthcare businesses.
The event also included the perspectives of two guest-speakers:
- KP Doyle, Non-Executive Chair, Cora Health. KP shared insight about his journey as a CEO and Non-Executive, and how he has played a role in driving growth in dynamic healthcare businesses, leading M&A, and navigating challenges across the healthcare sector
- Alastair Robertson, CEO & Founder, Eclipse. Alastair provided a viewpoint on the dynamics of the healthcare market, and M&A trends across the sector.
