2019 - 2020

Having started out as a 35-bed nursing home in 2000, Brindley Healthcare became one of Ireland’s largest privately-owned nursing home groups, with a reputation for providing the highest standards of elderly care.

In 2019, Brindley Healthcare partnered with our team in Ireland, to pursue an ambitious buy-and-build growth strategy.

With growth capital and support from BGF, the business was able to complete two successful acquisitions, within a year of our investment. We also helped the company to recruit a COO and CFO, and introduced Mary Harney, former Tánaiste and Minister for Health, who joined Brindley Healthcare as its Non-Executive Chair.

During our two-year partnership, the business was able to expand from a network of eight nursing homes with 400 beds to 10 homes with 600 beds. Following this period of growth, Orpea (now emeis), a leading European operator in dependency care, acquired 50% of the company.

“I can’t speak highly enough of BGF. Their support for the business has enabled us to grow strongly and make two acquisitions. At every stage, BGF were supportive and enthusiastic for our plans.”
