Apollo Home Healthcare acquired by Sovereign Capital Partners for next phase of growth

We are delighted to have advised Apollo Home Healthcare – a leading provider of complex healthcare-at-home services across the Midlands, North, and East of England – in securing new backing from ‘buy and build’ specialist Sovereign Capital Partners.

Founded in 2014, Apollo delivers bespoke, high-acuity care, with a focus on children and adults with complex clinical needs. The company operates a hub model supported by a central office in Wolverhampton, and employs more than 1,000 healthcare assistants and approximately 150 clinical and registered nurses.

By enabling highly complex patients to be safely cared for at home, Apollo plays a vital role in reducing pressure on NHS inpatient settings, directly aligned with NHS priorities to shift complex care into the community.

Sovereign’s investment will support Apollo’s continued geographic expansion and investment in people, technology and client experience, as well as selective acquisitions.

Our Corporate team – led by Partners Emma Callow and Nick Dawson, Senior Associate Tom Wisniewski and Associate Chloe Lovelock – advised Apollo’s management and shareholders on the deal, supporting it through to completion.

Laura Walker, Managing Director at Apollo Home Healthcare, said: "This is an important milestone for Apollo Home Healthcare. Since 2014, we’ve built a specialist complex care business focused on delivering safe, high-quality care to people with the most complex clinical needs. We’re delighted to be partnering with Sovereign as we move into the next phase of our journey. Their experience in healthcare and their collaborative approach to working with management teams gives us the right support to grow responsibly and sustainably. This investment allows us to strengthen our infrastructure, invest in our people and technology, and ultimately support more vulnerable individuals to live safely at home with the care they deserve."
