August Equity's Enara makes four add-on acquisitions
August Equity's care business Enara has acquired four care providers to strengthen its position in Wales and Southern England, in a transaction valued at less than £25m.
Upon completion of the acquisitions, Enara will have bought 40 companies as part of its buy-and-build strategy. In February, Enara acquired Freedom Social Care Recruitment, Rise and Shine Care and Croft Community Services. The latest add-ons were financed via an RBS acquisition facility.
August Equity bought the care provider for £43m in October 2008 with the strategic objective of using the company as a buy-and-build platform.
