It has been established and under the ownership of P & B Kennedy Holdings Limited for over 45 years.
Following a confidential sales process with Jonathan Wickens at Christie & Co, the home has been purchased by Yorkshire and Midlands care operator, Summit Care Group.
John Kennedy, Director of P & B Kennedy Holdings Limited, comments, “It was a very difficult decision to sell after 45 years, but we felt the time was right to retire and are pleased we have secured a sale to a company we believe will carry on the high standards that have made Herncliffe the home it is today. It has been a pleasure and privilege to work with the remarkable team of staff we have, and I am sure the home will go from strength to strength.”
Bernie Suresparan, Founder and CEO of Summit Care Group, comments, “We are thrilled to welcome Herncliffe into the Summit Care Group family as our seventh acquisition, marking another exciting milestone in the Group’s continued growth strategy. Herncliffe has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality care, and we are excited to work alongside the existing team to build on that success.
“At Summit Care Group, we are dedicated to providing the highest possible standard of care for our residents, and Herncliffe is a fantastic addition to the group. We look forward to supporting both residents and staff through this exciting new chapter while continuing to deliver exceptional care.”
Jonathan Wickens, Director – Care at Christie & Co, comments, “We are delighted to have been able to facilitate the sale of Herncliffe, allowing our clients to retire whilst handing over to the Summit Care Group, who we know are keen to work with the team at Herncliffe. This acquisition will fit well with their existing group of homes across Yorkshire and the Midlands. There continues to be strong appetite from regional and national operators for quality assets across the north, which is reflective of current market conditions.”
