Leeds healthcare firm Primary Care Physio secures £8.5m investment from BGF

Trending Today

A healthcare firm in Yorkshire has announced an £8.25m investment from BGF.

Leeds-based Primary Care Physio Limited (PCP), provides physiotherapists and podiatrists to the health service, freeing up GP capacity in the primary care sector. The company, which was founded in 2020 by Ryan Allen, Mohammed Nazir and Prof Gary Shuckford, currently employs over 300 clinicians.

PCP said that the investment would allow it to execute an “ambitious” growth strategy. Jon Lowe, the former CEO of Connect Health, will join the business as non-executive chair and Dean Barber will be joining as chief financial officer.

Ryan Allen, CEO at Primary Care Physio, said: “With a growing, ageing, and increasingly complex patient landscape, there is an unprecedented need for a flexible and fast musculoskeletal platform that enables GP practices to continue to deliver best practice care. At PCP, we enable PCNs to meet their objectives.

“To achieve our wider strategic aims, we wanted a minority investment partner that recognised the vast potential that exists – not only in our business, but in the wider marketplace. We also wanted to work alongside an investor that could adopt a patient and long-term outlook, but equally had a strong track record of helping businesses to capitalise on the opportunities ahead of them. BGF ticked all those boxes and we’re delighted to be working with the team who we can see will add value beyond the investment.”

The deal was led by Chris Boyes and James Baker, investors in BGF’s Yorkshire team.

BGF’s Chris Boyes said: “PCP is an exciting and rapidly expanding business in a sector with significant potential, led by a highly experienced management team, with strength and depth in the primary care market.

“We’re delighted to be supporting PCP’s ambitious growth plan, as it looks to continue to deliver best in class solutions and outcomes. As the primary care market continues to recover from the pandemic, PCP is well placed to maintain its rapid growth, supporting the delivery of patient outcomes. We look forward to partnering with Ryan and the wider PCP team as we continue to scale the business.”

Teenage drug dealer sold cocaine outside fish and chip shop

An alert member of the public tipped off a patrolling police officer to a dealer selling drugs outside a chip shop, a court heard. When police officers attended Harry’s fish and chip shop, in Frodingham Road, Scunthorpe, they found Connor Milton pushing an item down the waistband of his trousers. At Grimsby Crown Court, Milton, 19, of no fixed address, admitted being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine on April 18 this year. Prosecuting, Natalie Dean told the court Milton had been sentenced to 24 months in prison for possession of a machete in May last year and a further offence of being involved in the supply of cocaine in June last year. The prison sentence was suspended by Judge Mark Bury in November last year. READ MORE: The offence committed in Scunthorpe in April put the defendant in breach of that suspended sentence, told Miss Dean. She said PC Watson was on patrol in Frodingham Road when a member of the public brought it to the attention of the officer that a man was selling drugs outside a fish and chip shop. Milton was known to the officer. When police attended they saw Milton eating a pie inside the shop. He dropped it and immediately put a black cylinder item down the waistband of his trousers. Miss Dean said the defendant was searched and found with between 25 to 30 foil wraps and £88.50 in cash. It was later identified as crack cocaine. For Milton, Ian Haywood said his client was vulnerable and had been exploited. He also highlighted his client’s immaturity. He said Milton had been homeless since 2018 after leaving the family home. “I have not read a more tragic outline of a young man before. You tend to find people gravitate to those who would exploit young people.” Judge Richard Woolfall said a lot of people were doing their best to help the defendant but he was not taking up that support.

But he warned him: “You could end up serving a life sentence in prison in instalments.” He said people who are exploited to deal in drugs have a choice to tell police. “Class A drugs destroy people’s lives. They have a devastating impact on communities with people who are addicted and those committing crime to fund their addiction,” told the judge. He activated the two-year suspended sentence in a Young Offender Institution and added a further 12 months for the drugs offence. The judge ordered the money seized in the arrest to be given to Humberside Police to buy equipment. “They can buy battering rams in their fight against crime,” said Judge Woolfall.

Rafael Nadal sweeps into Swedish Open third round after win over Cameron Norrie

Rafael Nadal recovered from 4-1 down in the second set to claim victory over British number two Cameron Norrie in the second round of the Swedish Open at Bastad. The 38-year-old, who opted to miss Wimbledon in order focus efforts on the Paris Olympics, had his serve broken by number-five seed Norrie who was looking to level the match after going down 6-4 in the first set. But having received treatment on court to his arm after talking a heavy fall, Nadal came back to claim a 6-4 win in the set and progress to the quarter-final where he will face Argentinian Mariono Navone. “Great feelings, it’s been a while without playing on the Tour since Roland Garros and I had a chance to compete against a great player like Cameron,” said Nadal. “It’s part of the journey today. I haven’t been competing very often so matches like today help and holding the pressure on the opponent for the whole game is something I need to improve on because I haven’t played enough.” Nadal, who will play singles and doubles with Carlos Alcaraz in Paris, broke Norrie once in the first set to set up what at the stage looked like being a routine win, but having fallen behind in the second required a five-game winning run in order to edge through. He will play the doubles semi-final with Casper Ruud on Saturday. Published: 18/07/2024 by Radio NewsHub
