Andrew Barker, CEO, Phoenix Hospital Group comments;
“Following the success and growth of the Phoenix Hospital Group over the last three years including the acquisition of 25 Harley Street in January 2018, we have experienced exceptional demand for our services and facilities and a strong interest in our approach outside of the London area.
Chelmsford in an area of very high private medical insurance penetration with many of the local population working in London and is a growing economy with a strong self-pay market. All of these are factors support the establishment of Phoenix Hospital Chelmsford as a centre of excellence for private healthcare and provides opportunities for us to build Phoenix and establish our brand in a new and important area.
By acquiring Baddow Hospital, we aim to meet the needs of patients outside the London market which is part of our wider business strategy. Over the past few months, we have been working hard to engage with consultants in the Chelmsford area to better understand the Essex market and the demand for medical services and believe that there are exciting opportunities for us to work collegiately with consultants in the area”
