LDC partners with ambitious management teams across the South West and Wales, supporting businesses in key locations including Bristol, Exeter, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Swindon, Cardiff and Swansea, as well as wider regional hubs such as Plymouth, Cornwall and North Wales.
Our commitment to helping companies scale and create long-term value was recognised in 2025 when we were named ‘Private Equity Firm of the Year’ at the South West Dealmaker Awards.
We’re proud to be part of the communities we serve, and continue to support a number of charities, including Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal, the Alzheimer’s Society, Ty Hafan, and Young Lives vs Cancer, helping them deliver vital support to families across the South West and Wales.
Together, we’ve expanded our geographical footprint, enhanced our service offering through two strategic acquisitions, and invested significantly in our technology and people. I want to thank Dewi, Oliver and the entire LDC team for their commitment to our vision and their belief.”
