August Equity's Enara makes string of acquisitions
August Equity's portfolio company Enara, a British care provider, has completed four add-on acquisitions as part of its buy-and-build strategy.
The newly acquired companies are Angels Care Services, Training and Care Solutions Essex, Extracare and Home Comforts (South).
The expansion will support Enara's market position across the south of the UK.
Enara is following a buy-and-build strategey that has led to more than 30 acquisitions so far. The latest add-ons took place in April 2012, when Enara bought four homecare providers in Southern England and Wales.
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.
