The organisation was established in 2004 by the UUK and SCOP (now known as GuildHE). It took over the function of the Higher Education Staff Development Agency (HESDA), based in Ingram House in Sheffield. It was incorporated as a company in October 2003, and registered as a charity in February 2004.[2]

In March 2018, LFHE merged with the Equality Challenge Unit and the Higher Education Academy to form Advance HE.[3]
