Mitchells Corporate Agents wins Regional Award!

We won the dealmakers award for a transaction that represented one of the largest deals in the UK healthcare sector in 2020.

A landmark deal brokered by ‘Mitchells Corporate Agents,’ our brand new business collaboration, has secured regional recognition by winning the Insider Sheffield City Region Deal of the Year Awards in the Deal of the Year (£10m+) category.

Following many years of working individually through Mitchells Accountants & Business Advisers and Milestone Financial Planning, Heathcotes Group instructed us to sell in March 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic was ramping up.

Thanks to extensive knowledge of the healthcare industry, and unique expertise across strategic preparation for a sale, financial planning, and due diligence processes, the two businesses were in the perfect position to collaborate and deliver a complete end-to-end solution for the sale of Heathcotes to Envivo Group. As a result, the successful deal was signed, sealed, and delivered in late 2020.

A new partnership

We are really excited by the success of our new partnership, Mitchells Corporate Agents, and the opportunity to pick up our first award at the Insider Sheffield City Region ceremony, which takes place on 7 October 2021 at the Mercure Sheffield St Paul’s Hotel.

“We’re so pleased to be taking our collaboration to the next level says Michael Heath, MD of Milestone Financial Planning. “We feel that, together, we can offer the kind of service our bigger competitors simply can’t. Not just in terms of removing the barriers to sale and taking on the heavy lifting involved in a business exit, but also because, as a unique partnership, we can take a much more personalised approach to the entire process. And it’s great to see this approach being recognised in this year’s Dealmakers Awards.”

On the sale, Tony Hornsby of Mitchells Accountants & Business Advisers said.

“Having worked with Heathcotes Group since buying their first care home, it has been a privilege to support their significant growth ambitions from incorporation to sale. This included accounting and audit compliance, financial due diligence for numerous acquisitions, forecasts to assist refinancing, and tax structure advice. When the owners were looking for an exit, it was great to be able to continue this support by working collaboratively with Milestone throughout the sales process. We are very excited regarding the Mitchells Corporate Agents collaboration with Milestone and believe this will offer tailored solutions and guidance to owners looking for similar business exits.”
