We had a fantastic evening at the South West Dealmakers Awards - despite the extremely hot environment (hence no tuxedos)! A huge congratulations to the LDC team for a highly successful evening as well to all other winners and shortlisted firms and individuals. We are blessed and grateful to be working in an incredible and thriving corporate finance community with so many talented (and fun!) individuals. Oliver Schofield Stefan Gunn Vera Kuehne Sally Tam
🎉 Double win for LDC at the South West Dealmakers Awards 2026 🎉 A fantastic (and hot!) evening in Bristol last night as our South West & Wales team took home Private Equity Team of the Year and Large Deal of the Year (£25m+) for our exit of Hybrid. The judges highlighted both the strength of our deal activity and our long-term commitment to the South West, not just through investment, but through supporting the communities we’re part of. Our exit of Hybrid was recognised as a standout transaction, that brought together an exceptional network of local advisors. A special mention to Dewi Hughes, who was named in the top three for the Dealmaker Lifetime Achievement Award – a testament to his impact on the regional dealmaking landscape over the past 25 years.
