LDC has built trusted partnerships with ambitious management teams across the East Midlands and East of England. Our team work closely with businesses to help them to grow organically, internationally and through acquisitions.

We’re recognised as a leading private equity partner, and in 2026 we were named ‘Private Equity Team of the Year’ at the East Midlands Dealmaker Awards.

Community impact is also central to what we do. We’re actively funding and volunteering at local food banks, and support When You Wish Upon a Star, a Nottingham-based charity that creates memorable experiences for children living with life threatening illnesses.
