Private equity investor LDC has exited its investment in a Rochdale manufacturer of body-worn cameras at a 3.3x multiple following a sale to Arcus Infrastructure Partners.
Wireless CCTV – known as WCCTV – first secured a £30m investment from LDC in 2021 for a minority stake in the business to accelerate the firm’s growth ambitions.
WCCTV is a full-service, specialised leasing provider of managed re-deployable video surveillance assets for temporary security and monitoring solutions in the UK and the US and has been acquired by Arcus Infrastructure Partners.
Following LDC’s backing of founder Tim Williams and CEO David Gilbertson in 2021, WCCTV has almost doubled its workforce and grown revenue three-fold to £50m over a five-year period, expanding rapidly in its domestic and US market and launching a suite of innovative new products and services.
In April 2025, the business relocated to a new purpose-built 40,000 sq. ft head office in Rochdale, LDC’s exit was led by investment director Richard Ibbett and head of the North West and partner Dale Alderson.
David Gilbertson, chief executive officer of WCCTV, said: “LDC backed our vision and ambition for the business five years ago and have been a collaborative and trusted partner ever since.”
