Delivering a shareholder exit while supporting the continued growth of the business.
Based in Birmingham, Care First has delivered educational day provision to adults with learning difficulties and physical disabilities for over 25 years. Operating from multiple sites across the Midlands, the business employs more than 100 staff and works in close partnership with the NHS, local authorities and charitable organisations.
Respite Breaks is a CQC-approved provider of respite care services, complementing Care First’s core offering. Care First operates in a highly specialised and regulated area of education and care, making buyer selection critical.
A key objective of the transaction was to identify a partner capable of maintaining service quality, regulatory standards and long-standing relationships with public-sector stakeholders. Following extensive research and a targeted sale process, exclusivity was awarded to Outcomes First Group, whose platform and values were closely aligned with those of the business.
Andy Moore managed the sale process from initial preparation and buyer identification through to final negotiations, delivering an outcome that provided an exit for shareholders while supporting the continued growth of the business under new ownership.
We are delighted with the outcome for the shareholders, providing them with an exit and at the same time allowing the business to continue its growth strategy under Outcomes First’s ownership
