Established in 2009, the seven-surgery practice occupies the Grade II listed Richard Irvin building on the North Shields Fish Quay. The dental practice is fully equipped with the latest facilities and technology.
It was previously owned by the founder, Ewan Bramley, who has successfully grown the practice over the last 16 years.
Following a confidential sales process with Jonathan Watson, director of dental at Christie & Co, it has been sold to two of the associates at the practice, Jarlath McAteer and Jamie Dury, who have rebranded the practice as Union Quay Dental.
Jarlath and Jamie commented, “We are thrilled to have completed the purchase of the practice. It’s been a long journey, having worked here as associates, and we are beyond excited to take over. Looking ahead, we have big plans for Union Quay Dental. Our immediate focus is to refurbish the practice, including adding two new surgeries and upgrading the equipment to provide the best care possible. We're fortunate to be situated in the heart of North Shields Fish Quay, an area undergoing an exciting transformation, and we’re proud to continue serving the wonderful community of North Shields.”
Jonathan said, “This transaction saw a real team effort from buyer, seller and their advisers to push a challenging deal over the line. It was great to see the business acquired by two independent dentists who already know the practice and patients well. I am keen to see the direction Jarlath and Jamie take Union Quay, at a time where demand for private dentistry is as high as it’s ever been.”
The practice was sold for an undisclosed price.
