We have advised LDC on its investment in Moorhouse, a leading management and transformation consultancy, following the sale of the business by Expleo, a global engineering, technology and consulting services provider. Our combined team provided M&A and Debt Advisory support.

Founded in 2004, Moorhouse is headquartered in London and employs 220 people. It specialises in delivering complex, integrated transformation projects spanning strategy, people and technology, and operates across the public and private sectors, with longstanding client relationships in life sciences, energy, utilities and infrastructure, and healthcare and government.

The business is known in the market for the quality of its people and delivery, its client relationships and its AI-enabled approach underpinned by deep sector knowledge. It has been featured in the Financial Times UK’s Leading Management Consultants Report every year since the list began in 2018.

LDC’s investment will support Moorhouse’s growth strategy as an independent consultancy, through the expansion of its existing IP and products and targeted acquisitions.

Moorhouse stood out to us for the quality of its people, its deep sector expertise and its capabilities in AI, and for having all the ingredients to become a larger and even more successful consultancy. Its move to independence creates an opportunity to accelerate growth and pursue complementary acquisitions, and we’re excited to work with Anna, Hinesh, Leo and the wider team as they deliver their ambitious plans.
Josh Wachman, Investment Manager, LDC

Moorhouse is a fantastic addition to our portfolio and continues a strong year for LDC’s London team. We’ve partnered with a number of ambitious management teams across the capital, and London remains one of the UK’s most dynamic markets for growth and investment. We’re looking forward to working with the Moorhouse team as they build on their impressive reputation and capitalise on growing demand for partners that can bring together strategy, people and technology.
Nicol Fraser, Managing Partner and Head of London, LDC

We’re excited to partner with LDC as we begin our next chapter as an independent consultancy and pursue our ambition to build one of the UK’s most distinctive transformation consultancies. The LDC team’s experience in supporting advisory businesses like ours will help us to build on our strong foundations, become a leader in the sectors where we can make the greatest difference, and provide solutions to the biggest industry challenges through our exceptional people and capabilities in AI, data and products.
Anna Rissen, Partner, Moorhouse

We were delighted to advise LDC on the investment, supporting the team and providing insights that helped shape a clear understanding of a business with strong capability operating in a rapidly evolving market.
