AHC, based in West Sussex, provides online self-service direct debit collections for practices and practice groups (corporates) who offer their own health plans for pets. The purchase will complement Denplan’s current offering and enhance the service provided to the growing pet health plans marketplace.
Currently, Denplan Pet Health Plans and Practice Plan for Vets are offered to over 140,000 pets through independent veterinary practices. The acquisition of AHC will give access to the growing corporate sector and strengthen Denplan’s expertise in the pet health plan marketplace.
Steve Gates, Managing Director of Denplan, commented on the acquisition: “We want to reassure our member dentists that they and their patients, in both general practice and corporate areas, will continue to be Denplan’s core focus. The dental side of our business has seen growth and investment over the last few years under the ownership of Simplyhealth, who acquired Denplan less than three years ago. During that time, not only has the dental side of our business continued to thrive under their ownership, but we’re able to also invest and expand further into new markets. This acquisition will give us an opportunity to broaden Denplan’s offering in the growing veterinary healthcare market.”
