Bridges backs Alina Homecare

The company injected funds from Bridges Sustainable Growth Fund III, which closed on £125m in 2013, exceeding its £100m target. 

The firm has recently completed its first acquisition, bolting on a family-run single-branch business in Hertfordshire with more than 100 staff. The bolt-on was supported by funds provided by Bridges.

Bridges typically invests £2-15m per transaction.

Company
Founded in 2014 and based in Brighton, Alina provides care services within the home. The company aims to work closely with its patients, local authorities, the NHS and other relevant organisations to improve integration between health and social care.
