LDC Investment Director, John Green, said: “With Aspin, we are backing a highly experienced management team that has led the business through multiple phases of organic and acquisitive growth over recent years. 

“There are record levels of investment being made in rail electrification over the coming years, and Aspin is well placed to further accelerate its growth and expansion plans. Our support will provide the team with additional financial and strategic firepower to fully capitalise on this.”

“We were pleased to assist LDC with its continued investment in strong Midlands based businesses through its investment in Aspin Group which will help them to take advantage of future growth opportunities in the sector.”
