Eclipse Corporate Finance advises on the sale of Enable Therapy Services to Examworks UK
We are delighted to have advised the shareholder of Enable Therapy Services ("ETS") on the sale to Examworks UK.
Based in Leeds, ETS was established in 2008 by Julie Kendall, an Occupational Therapist with over 30 years’ experience working within statutory and private healthcare settings. It provides Rehabilitation, Vocational Case Management and Occupational Therapy Assessment and Treatment Services through a team of 40 staff, together with an established network of over 275 Occupational Therapists with vast clinical knowledge and expertise across a wide range of specialisms. Following the acquisition, Julie Kendall will continue to work with ETS in a Non-Executive Director capacity.
ExamWorks UK is a provider of medico-legal services, health assessments and rehabilitation treatment. It forms part of the ExamWorks Group family of companies, a market leading provider of independent medical examinations and related services in the USA, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom.
Commenting on the deal, Mike Cutler, Group CEO, said: “Under Julie’s stewardship, ETS has become a highly reputable and trusted operator in the case management market. Its emphasis on clinical excellence in the high value and serious injury space makes it a perfect fit for the group alongside our Premex+ and 3d Rehabilitation brands. ETS is well positioned to respond to the evolving case management landscape, and to pursue growth opportunities in the occupational health, loss adjuster and income protection markets.” Enable Therapy Services joins Choose Occupational Health and Washington House Occupational Health both of which were acquired earlier this year.
Julie Kendall, Managing Director at Enable Therapy Services, said: “I am thrilled that the next phase of ETS’ growth will be as part of the ExamWorks UK family. I am confident that the resources now available to the team will help achieve their growth targets. ETS has an established and highly experienced Senior Management Team, who will be an asset to the ExamWorks UK group. The synergies between the businesses are evident and I am delighted to continue to support the team in my role as a Non-Executive Director.”
