Grant Thornton advises Riverdale Healthcare Limited

Riverdale Healthcare is an experienced dental management team, who had a vision to create a leading dental consolidation platform with patient service and clinical excellence at the heart of their ethos. Riverdale approached our healthcare team to help them realise their vision, secure funding and identify suitable investment targets. 

We helped refine the business plan and conducted an investment search to identify a suitable platform. Alpha Vitality was identified and represented the ideal strategic fit with perfectly aligned strategic ambitions. Alpha Vitality is a 10 site dental group in the north of England, with a good mix of NHS and private business and a great reputation for clinical excellence and training. 

We also identified Apposite Capital as the private equity partner, who as a healthcare focused investor had also been looking for the right dental opportunity and view the Riverdale and Alpha Vitality as the ideal platform to build from. The final piece was the debt funding secured for the initial deal and subsequent acquisitions from Metro bank.
