Grant Thornton advises Stow Healthcare Group

Stow Healthcare Group (“Stow”) is a premium care home business in the East of England. Operating from 8 premium locations, Stow offers a range of care options in idyllic country settings.

Having been established 15 years ago, by brother and sister, Roger Catchpole and Ruth French, Stow was built up from a single care home to a multi award-winning group. 

The shareholders sought a buyer to take forward their vision for Stow, and a targeted sale process was run by Knight Frank LLP, with CGEN Care Group (“CGEN”), being chosen as the preferred bidder for the company.

Grant Thornton’s Corporate Finance Team were introduced to the shareholders to drive the transaction to a successful conclusion.

Drawing on our sector expertise, as well as extensive knowledge of the wider healthcare sector, we provided targeted support to the company through to completion, delivering a hands-on, practical approach.

Working alongside the Grant Thornton Tax Team allowed a joined-up process for the shareholders, allowing us to drive forward the deal, whilst critically maintaining value throughout.
