National care group completes acquisition of Shelton Care

Leading care provider National Care Group (NCG) has completed the acquisition of Shelton Care Limited.

Based in Stoke-on-Trent, Shelton Care was established in 1989 by husband and wife team Lyn and David Vincent. With five residential sites across Staffordshire, the company provides bespoke residential and nursing care; supporting individuals to live more independently. Law firm Blake Morgan advised the shareholders of Shelton Care on the sale of the business.

NCG is a leading provider of care and support services to vulnerable adults throughout the United Kingdom. The company offers supported living, residential care, out-reach/home support and day services.

David Stanhope, MD of NCG, commented: “Shelton Care has worked closely with the individuals they support, their families and commissioning services to develop and deliver high quality person centred support for nearly 30 years. The team offers excellent standards and a high quality service, exceeding industry standards and taking great pride in all that they do. The business is an obvious fit with our own organisation as we look to extend our support services to an ever-increasing number of people throughout the UK.”

David Vincent said: “We’ve worked hard to build the business over the last 29 years so deciding to sell was a big decision for us. It was very important that we found a buyer who shared our commitment to quality and service; an organisation that would value our staff and respect our family values.

“As a leading care provider, NCG have a great reputation throughout the UK and we are sure that Shelton Care will go from strength to strength under their guidance. We are particularly grateful to the team at Blake Morgan for their pragmatic advice and guidance; they’ve stood by us every step of the way to ensure a successful acquisition process.”
