Investment made by LDC’s Manchester office with the support of advisers from across the North West

Omniplex, a market-leading eLearning solutions provider, has secured investment from leading mid-market private equity investor LDC to support its growth strategy.

Omniplex empowers organisations worldwide to design, create and deliver effective and engaging digital learning. The company has offices in the UK and China and is the official partner of Articulate software in the UK. Articulate is the world leading eLearning authoring platform used by more than 100,000 organisations globally to create digital learning programmes for more than 100million learners.

Omniplex’s impressive portfolio of customers include Pfizer, Deloitte, Medtronic, GlaxoSmithKline, KPMG and Thames Water.

LDC is backing the business’ existing management team led by CEO Matthew Lloyd. Under Matthew’s leadership, the business has experienced strong growth having increased revenues 36% year-on-year.

LDC’s support will enable the management team to further consolidate its market-leading position as it targets further organic growth and explores complementary acquisitions.

The transaction was led by LDC’s Aziz Ul-Haq, Jacob Leone and Dale Alderson. As part of the deal, Aziz will join Omniplex’s board as a Non-Executive Director. Ken Hills, who was a senior board executive on LDC-backed workforce management software business Mitrefinch, will join Omniplex as a Non-Executive Chairman. Financial details of the investment are undisclosed.

Matthew Lloyd, CEO of Omniplex, said: “Omniplex offers organisations a market-leading all in one digital learning solution. Partnering with LDC gives us an opportunity to further consolidate our position by investing in our services and people. This is the next step in our journey to expand globally and truly transform learning in the workplace.”

Aziz Ul-Haq, Director at LDC in Manchester, added: “Omniplex is an impressive business with cutting-edge software solutions and services, a market leading position in the UK and an excellent management team. It is perfectly placed to take advantage of a rapidly growing market as organisations continue to turn to digital learning solutions. We’re delighted to partner with the team to support its growth strategy.”
