Maurice McLoughlin, CEO of Veincentre said:
“Patients come to us because they know we are the dedicated experts in treating venous reflux disorder. In CBPE we have found an investor with an equal passion for the business and a strong track record in growing multi-site healthcare businesses. We are excited for what the future holds for Veincentre.”
Anand Jain, Partner at CBPE said:
“Venous insufficiency is an extremely common condition, with varicose veins or venous ulcers affecting over 7m people in the UK. Patients are often not aware that these problems can be treated with a short outpatient procedure under local anaesthetic, with patients leaving the clinic shortly thereafter. Patients often suffer for years with these conditions, and we are excited about backing Maurice and his team to ensure these services are made as accessible as possible to people all over the UK”.
