Moorhouse secures investment from LDC to accelerate growth
5 Nov 2026
Moorhouse, a leading management and transformation consultancy, has secured investment from LDC, part of Lloyds Banking Group, following the sale of the business by Expleo, a global engineering, technology and consulting services provider.
Founded in 2004, Moorhouse is headquartered in London and employs 220 people. It specialises in delivering complex, integrated transformation projects spanning strategy, people and technology, and operates across the public and private sectors, with longstanding client relationships in life sciences, energy, utilities & infrastructure, and healthcare & government.
The business is known in the market for the quality of its people and delivery, its client relationships and its AI-enabled approach underpinned by deep sector knowledge. It has been featured in the Financial Times UK’s Leading Management Consultants Report every year since the list began in 2018.
LDC is backing Moorhouse’s management team, led by Partners Anna Rissen, Hinesh Patel and Leo Koshutova, alongside Executive Chair Karen Thomas-Bland. LDC’s investment will support Moorhouse’s growth strategy as an independent consultancy, through the expansion of its existing IP and products and targeted acquisitions.
The investment was led by Investment Managers Josh Wachman, Tom Gilchrist and Alex White, supported by Managing Partner and Head of London Nicol Fraser.
Anna Rissen, Partner at Moorhouse, said: “We’re excited to partner with LDC as we begin our next chapter as an independent consultancy and pursue our ambition to build one of the UK’s most distinctive transformation consultancies.”
The LDC team’s experience in supporting advisory businesses like ours will help us to build on our strong foundations, become a leader in the sectors where we can make the greatest difference, and provide solutions to the biggest industry challenges through our exceptional people and capabilities in AI, data and products.”
Josh Wachman, Investment Manager at LDC, added: “Moorhouse stood out to us for the quality of its people, its deep sector expertise and its capabilities in AI, and for having all the ingredients to become a larger and even more successful consultancy. Its move to independence creates an opportunity to accelerate growth and pursue complementary acquisitions, and we’re excited to work with Anna, Hinesh, Leo and the wider team as they deliver their ambitious plans.”
Nicol Fraser, Managing Partner and Head of London at LDC, said: “Moorhouse is a fantastic addition to our portfolio and continues a strong year for LDC’s London team. We’ve partnered with a number of ambitious management teams across the capital, and London remains one of the UK’s most dynamic markets for growth and investment. We’re looking forward to working with the Moorhouse team as they build on their impressive reputation and capitalise on growing demand for partners that can bring together strategy, people and technology.”
LDC has a successful track record in the business services sector, having invested £671m in 16 businesses over the last decade. It has invested in a diverse range of high growth business and technology services companies including professional services and technology firm Daintta, fast-growing enterprise digital lifecycle and cybersecurity consultancy UBDS and property and construction consultancy Frankham.
LDC was advised by Clearwater (Corporate Finance), GCS (CDD), Queen’s Tower (FDD), KPMG (Tax), and Osborne Clarke (legal).
