Investment type
- Secondary buyout
Vista Technology Support (Vista) is a specialist technology managed services provider operating in fast-paced physical trading environments, including retail, hospitality and healthcare.
Founded in 1995, the Cardiff-based business is a trusted partner to more than 100 businesses across the UK and Ireland, with a customer base that includes fast-growing supermarkets, the world’s largest restaurant chain and many well-known brands.
Funding growth
LDC invested in Vista in October 2017 to help accelerate the business’ organic and acquisitive growth strategy.
In July 2024, Vista acquired Store Computer Technology (SCT), further strengthening its retail and hospitality support capabilities in Ireland and Europe and making Vista the only retail and hospitality technology services provider with its own service capability across Ireland.
A year later, Vista opened a new state-of-the-art warehouse, staging facility and service desk in Dublin, and attracted new customers seeking a consistent service model across the UK and Ireland, alongside the capacity to support their own retail store and restaurant growth plans.
Taking the next step
During a successful nine-year partnership, LDC supported Vista to expand its customer base in new sectors and capitalise on accelerating technology adoption across retail estates.
As a result, Vista more than doubled revenue from £17m to £44m and headcount over the period.
In September 2026, LDC exited its investment in Vista to TRG, a global managed services provider.
