Redwoods Dowling Kerr sell leading domiciliary care provider in Scotland.
Being widely recognised as the leading provider of domiciliary care services throughout the regions in which the business operates, Rainbow Services (UK) Ltd, prides itself on providing a supportive service that champions choice, freedom and independence for those it cares for. This client focused approach has allowed the business to cultivate an outstanding reputation with local authorities and within the sector, allowing it to enjoy an impressive annual income in the region on £6m in the year ending March 2019.
Rainbow Care Services is an award winning, Scottish domiciliary care business operating in South Ayrshire, Dumfries & Galloway, East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire and Falkirk.
The business provides nearing 8000 care hours per week delivering a bespoke package of care that is individual and culturally appropriate to each person, allowing them to satisfy the needs of a broad range of clients encompassing children, young persons and adults.
After being put on the market with Redwoods Dowling Kerr due to the Vendor’s wish to retire, the business received 4 offers on the back of several meetings, with the successful bid being made by corporate healthcare providers, Grosvenor Health & Social Care. Established within the sector for over 20 years, Grosvenor say their attraction to the business was due to its standing within the Scottish demographic and plan to capitalise upon this by further expanding their profile within the region whilst upholding the highest quality of care.

Giving an insight into the sale Lead Negotiator of the sale Sam Fazackerley commented;
“Following on from a confidential marketing campaign, I am delighted to have assisted Mrs Abbott & Miss Abbott, the vendors of Rainbow Services (UK) Ltd, in securing a strong purchaser in Grosvenor Health & Social Care Ltd. Grosvenor HS have a substantial presence within the domiciliary care sector and already provide care to in excess of 10,000 clients on a weekly basis nationwide.
