David Bryden started the group of practices in 1999 and decided to sell it to hand over to a like-minded operator who would continue to deliver to the patients in the area.
David said, “After many enjoyable years of starting and expanding the practices, the decision was made that it was the right time to transfer the group to take it further forward. We are delighted to conclude the sale of Rejuvadent and look forward to witnessing it go from strength to strength under the new ownership.”
The three NHS practices comprise 17 well-presented surgeries on Osborne Street in Grimsby, Oswald Road in Scunthorpe, and Freetown Way in Hull. The clinics have all been serving their local patient communities for many years and have excellent reputations for providing high-quality family dental care.
Following a confidential sales process with Tom Morley associate director of dental at Christie & Co., the group has sold to Jonathan Schonberg at April Holdings Dental Group. Alongside his interest in the Carholme Dental Group, this acquisition takes Jonathan to 24 practices across the UK and bolsters its significant presence across Yorkshire.
Jonathan commented, “We are delighted to have completed the transaction of Rejuvadent and warmly welcome David and Debbie into the group. April Holdings and Rejuvadent share the same values in delivering quality NHS dentistry, and the patients can expect the same quality service under our ownership.”
Tom said, “This represents yet another landmark sale brokered by Christie & Co, it is also refreshing to see a larger transaction to be completed by an independent group, further strengthening the sector. It has been an absolute pleasure to work on behalf of David for the sale of his group. Our task was to confidentially identify and introduce appropriate buyers for this unique opportunity, working alongside Jonny and David on this transaction has cemented our original advice further. I wish them both the very best moving forward. I would also like to say a huge thank you to Debbie Rose the Group Manager for her tireless work and commitment to completing the transaction.”
The sale was also supported by Clare Emery and her team at HCR Law, and Paul Shinwell and his team at Abrahams Dresden.
