LDC supports ambitious businesses across the North East and Scotland, partnering with management teams in cities including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Our local team brings deep regional insight and extensive investment experience, helping companies accelerate growth and build long‑term value.
In 2025, we were proud to be named ‘Private Equity Firm of the Year’ at the North East Dealmaker Awards. We’re equally committed to the communities we live and work in, supporting the Dragonfly Cancer Trust, a Newcastle‑based charity, and The Greggs Foundation in Scotland.
What really attracted us to LDC was the breadth of sectors they invest into and the relationship we had built with Gareth Marshall. We thank LDC for their guidance, which has supported the business through a very exciting period of growth and development.”
