A Warrington-headquartered occupational health and well-being specialist, which is backed by private equity firm LDC and employs more than 700 people, has acquired a mobile health screening business.
MedProtect is the latest addition to PAM Group’s portfolio as it continues to expand through organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
Founded in 2003 by Ian and Louise Hutchinson, MedProtect also has its headquarters in Warrington, providing mobile health screening services to companies across the UK and Ireland. The business employs seven staff and has annual revenues approaching £1m.
It will continue to trade under its own brand as part of the PAM Health division of the PAM Group. The acquisition was completed for an undisclosed sum.
James Redshaw, of law firm Hill Dickinson’s corporate team in Manchester, advised PAM Group on the transaction.
James Murphy, founder and chief executive of PAM Group, said: “We see lots of potential for MedProtect to expand, and will be investing to grow it significantly over the next few years. As well as giving us the opportunity to provide the PAM Group customer base with additional services, it also enables us to offer our extensive range of group-wide services to MedProtect’s clients.
“Alongside sustained organic expansion, we continue to seek strategic bolt-on acquisitions to further strengthen our offering in line with our growth ambitions.”
Ian Hutchinson said: “Everyone at MedProtect is very excited about the opportunities for the business and our clients now that we have joined the PAM Group.
“This combination will not only mean the doubling in size of our mobile clinic operations. It will also give us the ability to offer our clients far more services and support from across the wider group, with additional personnel on the administrative side who are highly motivated and proficient at providing solutions for requirements in occupational health, vaccinations, consumable supplies and laboratory services.”
PAM Group is one of the largest occupational health, employee assistance program and well-being providers in the UK.
PAM is backed by private equity firm LDC to support its growth and the launch of new products and services.
