Cairngorm Capital Case Studies
Millbrook Healthcare case study
Millbrook Healthcare is a leading provider of community equipment, wheelchair services and home adaptations. These services enable elderly and disabled individuals to maintain their independence within their own homes rather than requiring hospitalised care. Since the initial investment in July 2019, Millbrook acquired Ross Care in February 2021 to become a national leader within the wheelchair services and mobility equipment market.
