Mid-market private equity investor LDC has bolstered its team in Scotland with the appointment of Lee Donaldson as investment director.
Mr Donaldson will work alongside director and head of Scotland Mark Kerr and investment director Colin Bennett to further strengthen the firm’s operations in Scotland and drive new investment opportunities across the country’s growing group of medium-sized businesses.
He joins from RBS, where he most recently led the bank’s structured finance team in Aberdeen.
He has over 20 years’ experience of working directly with Scottish businesses.
Mr Kerr said: "We are committed to supporting ambitious management teams across Scotland as they grow their businesses.
"Lee’s addition to the team means we can better support more firms considering private equity."
Mr Donaldson said: "I am really excited to be joining LDC at such a crucial time for business in Scotland.
"There are hundreds of high-growth mid-market businesses based in Scotland and we’re keen to partner with those management teams looking to take the next step in their journey."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
