A spokesman said the executive management team had taken full ownership of the business to support its next phase of growth.
The transaction has been supported by a new eight-figure funding package from NatWest, which has supported Global throughout LDC’s investment period.
Global provides fleet services to businesses of all sizes. Over the last six years, staff numbers have grown at Global from 95 to more than 130 employees today.
In a statement, LDC said: “Since LDC’s investment in December 2019, Global has pursued an ambitious growth strategy.”
“Over the six-year partnership, Global more than doubled revenue and tripled profits, and for the year ending February 2026, recorded £78.3m revenue and £17.4m profit.
“The partnership also enabled Global to develop relationships across LDC’s portfolio and today it supplies more than 600 vehicles to 17 LDC portfolio companies.”
Geoff Bloore, Founder and Managing Director of Global Autocare, said: “The past six years have been a huge success for Global. LDC’s investment and partnership enabled us to accelerate our growth ambitions, while maintaining our focus on exceptional client service and innovation.
“We have benefited from a number of valuable introductions across their portfolio and we’re particularly grateful for their flexibility throughout our journey together.
“We’re now well-positioned to take the business forward and build on this strong platform whilst continuing to provide our high quality, flexible service to our growing customer base. We have a longstanding relationship with NatWest and Lombard. This new funding package supports the next phase of our growth strategy and we are grateful for their continued confidence in our team. I’d also like to thank all our employees, partners and customers for their ongoing support and loyalty – they remain central to our continued success and to the exciting opportunities ahead.”
The Global management team consists of MD Geoff Bloore, finance director David Sadler, commercial director Stephen Chater and fleet director Joseph Bloore. At LDC, the exit was led by managing partner, John Garner; Dan Smith, partner and head of Yorkshire and investment manager Anthony West.
