We are delighted to announce that The LCap Group, (a provider of services for leadership assessment, change and development), has made a significant investment in Confidas People, a leading provider of Management Due Diligence (MDD) for Private Equity investments.
Confidas People, founded in 2017 by Bruce Douglas, has grown rapidly, developing a reputation for expertise, discretion, and integrity, whilst becoming an essential part of the pre-deal and people decision-making process for investors.
Backed by Three Hills Capital Partners, this investment advances The LCap Group’s M&A strategy, further strengthening its leadership consulting solutions across the investment lifecycle. It also reinforces LCap’s belief that management teams are both a critical risk factor and a key value driver—where getting it right or wrong has a significant impact at exit.
Graham Roadnight, CEO, LCap Group said: “We have been impressed by the expertise across Confidas People, the quality of their client relationships, as well as the impact of their work. We believe this deal is significant for all. Our support will allow Confidas People to develop their offering and increase their reach across the sector, as they develop both capability and scale."
Marco Anatriello, Partner, Three Hills Capital Partners said of the investment: “Having first worked with Confidas People in 2018, I was impressed with the accuracy and clarity of their assessments. Since then, I have watched them grow and develop their offering, whilst remaining laser-focused on developing their position within Management Due Diligence. Their clearly defined specialism differentiates them in the market, and we are excited to be part of their continued growth journey.”
Bruce Douglas, Managing Director & Founder, Confidas People said: “Growing the business, building our team, and working with our clients has been hugely rewarding, however, of course, we have experienced the typical challenges of scaling. Our independence is important to both us and our clients, and we have resisted previous approaches for that reason. LCap’s understanding of the importance of this means that through this investment, we can continue to build the sophistication of our offering and enhance the skills and capacity in our team but importantly continue to lead the business with the same values and integrity which underpin our client relationships and validity of our advice.”
