Two award winning local businesses both serving customers across the North and North East of Scotland have changed ownership. Able Care Inverness Able Care Aberdeen and City Mobility Inverness and Aberdeen (Inverness based) which have over 50 years of combined heritage in the mobility equipment sector have been acquired by Advanced Healthcare Group.

The purchase gives Advanced Healthcare Group an even stronger presence in Scotland having also acquired Allardyce Healthcare (Dundee based) last year.

All three businesses have a deep rooted commitment to improving lives and promoting independence, through innovative products which aligns perfectly with Advanced Healthcare Group’s vision.

Gary Lynch, Managing Director of Advanced Healthcare Group said he was looking forward to honouring both companies fantastic legacy whilst further “advancing” the business and its services across Scotland.

He said “This acquisition marks another early step in our mission to reshape healthcare and mobility services in the UK and beyond”.

Steve Elliot, Managing Director of Able Care said “the acquisition means an even brighter future for both businesses with a younger, experienced team from the mobility and healthcare industry taking over at the helm”. Steve stressed both businesses would still be operating as they are with the same staff and management teams continuing to provide an outstanding service and wide range of products and equipment across the top half of Scotland.

We don’t often lose the head here at Able Care.

But we have a whole pack of Senset Skin Cleansing Foam that has!

That’s why we are offering these at a discounted rate of £30 for all 12, if this can be paid for in cash we will be taking it as a donation into our Highland Hospice tin. 🐝

Unfortunately due to the current heavy snow the last couple days we have had to put a few jobs on hold this week. ☁️❄️

Our plumber up in Helmsdale probably had a good idea there wouldn’t be much work getting done when he went out to check his snow bin-o-meter in the morning! ⛄️☃️
