LDL is known for its partnership approach and being market leaders of laundry, catering, meditech, and heating and boiler services across Belgium and Netherlands, offering mission critical services to Care, Housing, Government and Leisure facilities.
International growth is a core part of JLA's strategy and bringing LDL into the JLA Group expands JLA's international presence and ability to meet the commercial equipment needs of laundry customers throughout the Benelux region.
"It was a pleasure to work once again with the BDO financial and tax due diligence teams on our recent acquisition of Belgium headquartered, LDL Group. We have regularly used BDO Leeds to support on UK acquisitions, but this transaction really demonstrated BDO’s ability to support cross border and the strength of its financial and tax due diligence teams in both Belgium and the Netherlands. Throughout the transaction BDO was highly responsive and flexible to our needs, providing pragmatic and commercial advice. We greatly appreciated their support and look forward to partnering with them on future transactions."
Sarah Norton, CFO, JLA Group
