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.

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.” Advisors to LCap Group – Paris Smith LLP (Legal), Saffery (Finance), GRAPH Strategy (Commercial DD) Advisors to Confidas People – Gambit Corporate Finance LLP (Corporate Finance), HCR Law (Legal), Mitchell Edwards (Finance) #leadership #privateequity

    We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Kimberly Dolder as our Chief Commercial Officer. In her new role, Kim will play a crucial role in the brand's continual evolution and building our retail footprint - which she is "beyond excited" about! A message from Ben Francis MBE on the new appointment: “If we are to become an iconic 100-year brand, there are two things we can’t compromise on - being global and being omnichannel. To achieve them, we need a Chief Commercial Officer who can be the architect to create the blueprint to get us there. I can think of no one better than Kim to step into this role. Kim is our first Chief based in the US, so this serves as a real sign of intent of our global ambitions. Since joining, she has already added so much value to our North American operations and her experience, insight and sheer will to win will definitely take Gymshark to new heights.”

    Head of Behavioural Analytics | The LCap Group | Leadership Behavioural Evaluation, Enhancement and Ongoing Development

    Attending Executive Education at Warwick Business School's event on Behavioural Science and Organisational Transformation last week reinforced a crucial point: in fast-paced high-growth environments, real transformation requires more than just new faces at the top - it requires the assessment of leadership behaviours and the social fabric in and around teams. Leadership isn’t just about individuals; it’s also about the systems they operate in. Thanks to Daniel Read and Executive Education at Warwick Business School for an insightful session and having Alexander Pedersen and myself.
