We’re delighted to congratulate Evolution Funding, a portfolio company of LDC, on its successful transaction to Carlyle.

Founded in 2002, Evolution is the UK’s largest used auto finance platform, connecting vehicle dealers and consumers with the UK’s largest lender panel.

Evolution’s innovative digital finance solutions are helping to transform used car retail in the digital era and we wish them every success following the transaction.
