Northern Medical Ultrasound scan for further growth with Yorkshire Health Solutions acquisition

Yorkshire Health Solutions has been acquired by Northern Medical Ultrasound (NMU) in a six figure transaction.

Founded in 2012, NMU is run by two advanced practitioner sonographers, Sarah Boland and Joanne Holgate.

The firm provides ultrasound staff to the NHS, specialising in pregnancy, women and men’s scans as well as corporate screening services

Having worked in partnership with Yorkshire Health Solutions, which runs twelve clinical commissioning groups and provides ultrasound and radiology services for NHS and private patients in the North of England, NMU decided to purchase the business when it was put up for sale.

The six figure deal is part of a planned expansion for NMU to move across the M62 corridor and deliver services within more communities in the North West.

With an 88-strong team, the company believes the acquisition will result in an increase in staff numbers which is expected to surpass 100 in the near future.

Joanne Holgate, director at Northern Medical Ultrasound, said: “It made perfect sense to buy Yorkshire Health Solutions as we’ve worked with the company for a long time and through our partnership have contributed to the business’ growth.

“We’ve been mainly operating in Yorkshire but knowing that patients feel more comfortable when healthcare is available in their community, we realise that it’s a much needed service beyond the region.”

NMU was advised by Mark Schofield, director at Haworths Chartered Accountants on the transaction.

Mark said: “Joanne and Sarah have a clear vision for their business and it was great to support them in what is a very exciting time for Northern Medical Ultrasound.

“I’m sure we’ll see the company continue going from strength to strength and deliver specialist services to more and more people in the coming years.”

Joanne added: “Mark and the team at Haworths were exceptional; they looked at all the numbers and guided us through the entire process from start to finish.”
