Connell Consulting Guides HC-One in Transformative £300m Acquisition of 122 Bupa Care Homes
Connell Consulting played a critical role in supporting HC‑One’s strategic expansion by delivering detailed commercial due diligence on a landmark £300 million acquisition of 122 Bupa care homes. This deal significantly increased HC‑One’s scale, adding to its portfolio and helping it become the largest care home operator in the UK.
The acquisition, announced by HC‑One, added approximately 9,000 beds to its business. Following the deal, HC‑One’s footprint expanded to over 350 care homes with around 22,000 beds, making it a clear market leader.
Connell Consulting’s commercial due diligence was pivotal in assessing the viability and long-term value of the Bupa portfolio. Their analysis likely evaluated service mix (nursing vs residential), geographic risks, regulatory exposure, financial performance, and integration cost. The insights provided would have equipped HC‑One and its investors with a clear picture of both upside potential and operational challenges.
