In her new role, Ledwidge will be responsible for identifying and managing new assets in the Hampshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire and Thames Valley regions.

Ledwidge joins BGF following a year as investment manager for LDC, the private equity arm of Lloyds Banking Group. Prior to LDC, she spent eight years at Lloyds, leaving her role as lead credit director in 2013.

Following Ledwidge’s appointment, BGF’s Bristol team now has a headcount of nine. The fund is currently looking to further expand the executive team in the region.

Recent investments by the Bristol team include a £2m injection in portfolio company Abbey Pharma to facilitate the acquisition of Peckforton Pharmaceuticals and a £4m investment in cloud infrastructure business Skyscape Cloud Services.
