How Physio & More Medical & Healthcare Was Sold to Cal Shelton
Knightsbridge facilitated the sale of multidisciplinary health and wellness clinic Physio & More Ltd… “Really great experience using Sara Manville. Thank you Knightsbridge.” Our client, Ben Wilde, founded the Kingston-on-Thames based clinic in 2009, and took sole ownership in 2020. The team consists of experienced chartered physiotherapists, and also offers osteopathy, sports massage and sports rehabilitation. Its range of treatments have covered patients ranging from 2 to 102 years old. The company has a substantial database of 10,000 existing and prospective clients – 3,500 of which are ‘active’, with the vast majority using additional services within the clinic. Physio & More facilitates the promotion of its services through an engaging and informative website, and furthers its online presence with a series of very strong reviews. It is also recognised by a high volume of leading insurance companies, including Axa, Bupa, and Aviva. As well as being well-established with a loyal customer base, there are still significant opportunities for growth. The company has seen year-on-year increases in turnover, gross profit and shareholder funds – making it a good time for Ben to capitalise on his investment. Sara Manville, Knightsbridge Senior Sales Executive, led the sale of Physio & More, and along with the wider team generated 17 viewings, which ultimately led to an offer being submitted by London-based investor Cal Shelton. “I partner with founders to give them quick, straightforward exits that protect their team and culture and keep their businesses operating for the long term,” Cal explains, who is also the founder of Red Banksia Ltd. Sara commented: “Cal plans to grow Physio & More, which sees Ben staying for a period of time, which is something he offered when we went live on the market. Ben then wishes to pursue other business interests.” Happy with the buyer we found and the deal structure that was negotiated, Ben expressed having enjoyed a “really great experience using Sara Manville” in a five-star review, and paid his thanks to Knightsbridge as a whole. Sara expressed: “It was great to deal with both parties, they were very easy to communicate with and to work effectively all together.” We wish Ben and Cal the best of luck in their endeavours.
