Highbury Support Services, a North Wales care provider, has been bought by investment firm Birch Faraday Capital.
Established in 1996, Prestatyn-based Highbury Support Services is a family company specialising in high-quality care for individuals with complex needs.
It provides support within the community to individuals with a variety of identified needs including learning disability, physical disability, or mental health. It provides support services to both the private and public sector, via social services. At present Highbury Support Services provides support to more than 70 individuals; however, this changes frequently.
The deal marks Birch Faraday Capital's second acquisition, after acquiring Mediline Supported Living in 2023. The combined group now employs 600 people and delivers more than 17,000 weekly care hours across the region.
Birch Faraday Capital said the deal for the care provider strengthens the London company's "mission to deliver compassionate living services that empower individuals".
Bamburgh Capital was involved with sourcing and advising on the acquisition. Gerald Edelman's Corporate Finance team advised Birch Faraday Capital.
Alex Wilson, associate director at Bamburgh Capital, said: "We are delighted to have supported Darnell and the Birch Faraday Capital team in making their second acquisition. The acquisition provides continuity for both staff and service users whilst strengthening Birch Faraday's reach and ability to deliver exceptional care services across the North West and Wales, and we wish them every success for the future."
William Abell, partner and head of transaction services at Gerald Edelman, said: "It was a pleasure to advise the Birch Faraday team on their second acquisition, and we look forward to seeing the company grow and thrive under Birch Faraday's ownership."
Other advisers on the deal included Helen Wong at Setfords (legal advisors), Jordan Ramsden and William Abell at Gerald Edelman (financial and tax due diligence advisors), and Jack Mitchell and Martin Isik-Rozwadowski at Close Brothers (debt providers).
