With only a limited time to complete a commercial lease in Ross-on-Wye, real estate expert Annabel Hull worked hard to ensure everything was completed in time.

Mr Walby said: “Annabel was friendly, helpful and professional in all of her dealings with me, even taking time out on her weekend to e-mail me with details. Mine was only a small value lease but I was impressed with the care and attention to detail taken.”

“I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone requiring help from a real estate, commercial property legal team. Both she and HCR work to the highest standards and I am very grateful to her.”

Bringing together health care and corporate expertise, Louise Crook and Peter Raybould advised National Care Group (NCG) on their acquisition of Shelton Care in Stoke-on-Trent, continuing their long-standing relationship with the group.

Shelton Care has multiple facilities in the Stoke-on-Trent area and last year generated more than £10m in revenue. For nearly 30 years they have been providers of residential and nursing care for adults with learning disabilities, autism and other associated support needs.

David Stanhope, Managing Director for NCG, said:

“Shelton Care has made a name for itself in care and education in Stoke. The services and support it provides and, most importantly, its person-centred ethos, fit well with the NCG philosophy. Our first priority is to ensure a seamless transition for service users during the integration period which we are confident will be achieved working closely with the dedicated team at Shelton Care.”

“This strategic acquisition continues our drive to expand NCG’s footprint and highlights our growing ability to provide person-centred care throughout the UK.”
