New era for North Lanarkshire NHS dental practice

Marcuccilli Dental Care is a three-surgery, mixed-income practice that has been serving the local community for over 50 years. Situated in the centre of the market town of Airdrie, it benefits from excellent transport links to both Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The practice was sold by Lisa Marcuccilli, who has successfully run and grown the business since 2010. Lisa will remain part of the clinical team but has chosen to step back from the day-to-day responsibilities of managing the practice.

Following a confidential sales process with Kevin Strain at Christie & Co, and with funding sourced through Stephen McConalogue at Christie Finance, the practice has been purchased by experienced operator, Lesley Struthers. This is currently the only practice under Lesley’s ownership, although she has previously purchased a practice through Christie & Co.

Lisa Marcuccilli, the former owner of Marcuccilli Dental Care, comments, “Leading Marcuccilli Dental Care has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my career, and I’m incredibly proud of the practice, our team and the care we’ve provided to the local community. Making the decision to sell was something I considered very carefully, but I felt the time was right for the practice to enter its next phase under fresh leadership.

“I’m delighted to see the practice acquired by an experienced operator who recognises the strengths of the business and shares our values. Knowing that our patients and team will continue to be well looked after gives me real peace of mind. I would like to thank everyone who has supported the practice over the years, and I look forward to seeing the practice continue to grow and succeed into the future.”

Lesley Struthers, the new owner of Marcuccilli Dental Care, comments, “I’m a general dentist with experience in NHS and mixed practices across Scotland, with a focus on high-quality, patient-centred care. Marcuccilli Dental Care has an excellent reputation in Airdrie, built over many years by Lisa Marcuccilli, and I’m delighted to continue that legacy. My focus is on patient continuity while also embracing growth and modernisation.”

Kevin Strain, Senior Business Agent – Dental at Christie & Co, comments, “We, were delighted to support Lisa Marcuccilli with the sale of Marcuccilli Dental Care. The practice has an excellent reputation across Lanarkshire, a loyal patient base, and a well-established clinical team - all of which attracted strong interest from the market. After a competitive process, we were pleased to secure a successful outcome with an experienced independent buyer who truly appreciates the strengths of the business and its potential for further growth. It has been a pleasure working with Lisa throughout the transaction, and we’re confident the practice will continue to thrive under its new ownership.”

Stephen McConalogue, Associate Director – Christie Finance, comments, “I'm thrilled to have supported Lesley in securing funding to take the helm at Marcuccilli, a milestone that perfectly aligns with her passion for delivering exceptional patient care. Working with Lesley was an absolute delight; her vision, expertise, and commitment to her community are set to drive growth and make a lasting impact. I'm excited to see the next chapter unfold for Lesley and the Marcuccilli team."

Marcuccilli Dental Care was sold for an undisclosed price.
