CVS Adds To Stable With Acquisition Of Bell Equine
Azets Corporate Finance is pleased to announce the sale of Bell Equine Veterinary Clinic in Mereworth, Kent, to CVS (UK) Ltd.
Bell Equine is one of the leading equine hospitals nationally and internationally and was the first practice worldwide to install a standing MRI unit for horses. The acquisition brings a wide range of specialist expertise to CVS, together with a large team of highly experienced clinical professionals. The move follows an increased focus by CVS, the UK’s largest and fastest-growing veterinary group, on equine practice. Its Equine Division has experienced rapid growth over the last 18 months with further expansion expected in the UK and Europe during 2017.
Azets Corporate Finance advised us on the sale of our business to a much larger company that specialises in acquisitions. They provided us with the support, knowledge and pragmatic advice that we required to be able to sense check the more difficult decisions we were required to make during the negotiation.
Andy Coghlan, Head of Private Equity and International Transactions at Azets said: “We were delighted to advise Julian and his colleagues in the sale of Bell Equine and wish them every success for their future with CVS. We are looking forward to doing more deals in the Kent region and will be making further announcements about our presence there shortly.”
