How are businesses implementing AI? Last night our Yorkshire team were joined for dinner by business leaders across the region to discuss #AI. Thanks to our guest speaker Philip White, Founder and CEO of Audacia – an award winning #technology consultancy, specialising in software engineering, data, AI, and cloud. Phil discussed the benefits of AI being practically implemented in mid-market businesses, and there was a roundtable discussion, hosted by LDC Investment Director Will Scales about different perspectives on future AI adoption.

About us
For over 40 years, LDC has been the trusted investment partner for ambitious management teams. Part of Lloyds Banking Group, our experience, scale, and relationship-based approach have helped hundreds of management teams across the UK to grow their businesses, their way. In the last decade, the businesses we’ve supported have grown 3.3x more than the national average, and the businesses we've exited in that period have increased in enterprise value by £10.3bn. We offer strategic support, challenge when necessary and provide flexible growth capital as either minority or majority shareholders. This means we can help management teams to deliver a range of different growth strategies – including making acquisitions, investing in operations or sales and marketing, broadening products and services, or expanding overseas. With a national network of 10 offices, our teams live and work right across the UK. By combining local relationships with national scale, we’re able to build trusted relationships from day one. Our experience has seen us invest in companies across more than 50 sub-sectors, supporting the whole of the UK economy, through a range of economic cycles.

🔊 Call for female business leaders One of the highlights from The LDC Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders of 2024 was awarding inspiring Founder and CEO of SCAMP & DUDE and Dude, Jo Tutchener Sharp, The Purpose Award. Never has an award been more apt! “I remember the letters from the women who’ve received our scarves or from parents whose child was given a Sleep Buddy in hospital. That’s what keeps me going. It’s got to be authentic and real and heartfelt.” In recognition of International Women’s Day, we are calling for nominations showcasing inspirational female business leaders for The LDC Top 50 of 2025. #TrustedwithAmbition #WomeninBusiness #LDCTop50 #IWD2025
