BGF backs Brindley Healthcare with €10m

The capital will be used to support acquisitions and organic growth. Utilising the investment and a renewed debt facility from Ulster Bank, Brindley is aiming to increase its bed count from 400 to 1,000 by 2020. BGF’s Leo Casey will join the board.

BGF launched a dedicated €250m Ireland fund in 2017, which is backed by the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund as well as three major banks – AIB, Bank of Ireland and Ulster Bank.
