Advising on the sale of Jane Lewis
Our Deal Advisory have advised the shareholders of Jane Lewis on the sale of the business to The Montreux Healthcare Fund, which is advised by Montreux Capital Management (UK). Established in 1987, Chester Healthcare Limited (also known as “Jane Lewis”) is a specialist healthcare provider supplying quality nurse staffing services to the NHS and private healthcare operators.
The business operates across the North West and North Wales delivering bespoke, person-centred complex home care packages via a team of specialist healthcare professionals.
The acquisition, for an undisclosed sum, sees Jane Lewis join the fund’s neurological care platform, Active Assistance. The bolt-on adds £1m in EBITDA and enables Active Assistance to expand its offering and enter new geographies. Becky Garnett-Buchma, Managing Director of Jane Lewis will continue to lead the business following the acquisition. Montreux acquired Active Assistance from August Equity in January 2018.
Jane Lewis has a fantastic management team and the deal with Montreux will allow the business to implement its ambitious expansion plan. We continue to see significant activity levels in the healthcare sector from both trade acquirers and private equity firms, which reflects opportunities for mid-market business owners.
