Partnership in Care

Business description

Partnerships in Care is the UK market leader in the private provision of secure psychiatric services. It provides care services for men and women with complex mental health needs and specialises in the areas of mental health, personality disorders, learning disabilities and brain injury rehabilitation. It operates over 1,200 beds in 23 facilities around the UK.

Cinven strategy

Having previously invested in General Healthcare, Partnerships in Care's parent company, Cinven knew the business well. Cinven's strategy was to accelerate the growth of the company by investing in extensions and new sites that will take advantage of further market growth, and to improve the operational performance of the business. In addition, Cinven and the management team identified the 'low secure' market as undersupplied and an attractive and logical extension for the business.
