LONDON, UK: Marlowe plc has acquired CQC Compliance Ltd, a care quality compliance consultancy, with the total enterprise value payable expected to be approximately in the region of £2 million.
CQC is based in Preston, Lancashire, and provides retained consulting services to care homes, surgeries and pharmacies to ensure compliance with health and social care regulations.
The acquisition adds a new adjacent capability to Marlowe’s Governance, Risk and Compliance division, broadening the Group’s offering of regulated compliance services into the care market whilst offering synergies with Marlowe’s employment law and safety businesses. The business has run rate annual revenues of approximately £1m.
The consideration payable for CQC, which is currently generating a run rate annual operating profit of approximately £0.23m, includes an upfront consideration of £0.6m and a performance related contingent consideration over four years to be funded from Marlowe’s existing cash resources.
