Wilsons' Corporate and Commercial Property teams have advised longstanding client Greensleeves Care on its strategic acquisition of Broadacres, an award-winning residential care home in Barton Turf, Norfolk.

Greensleeves Care is a leading UK not-for-profit care home organisation which has been named in the Top 20 care home groups in the UK for six consecutive years.

The multi-disciplinary Wilsons team was led by Corporate partner Mark Cook and Commercial Property partner Dominic Ogden, with support from other specialists from across the firm's Corporate, Commercial Property, Employment and Corporate Tax teams. The firm worked alongside Azets on the transaction.

Chris Doherty, Greensleeves' Chief Financial Officer says: "We are very grateful to Mark, Dominic and the Wilsons team for playing an integral role in helping us to complete this strategic acquisition, which was at times very demanding. The Wilsons team were very commercial and their understanding of the health and social care sector is impressive – we are grateful to the Wilsons team for guiding us through this important acquisition from inception to completion."

Mark Cook adds: "It has been a pleasure to work again with Chris and the wider Greensleeves team on its acquisition of Broadacres to support their growing footprint as a leading care home operator in the UK. We worked incredibly closely with the Greensleeves team and Azets on the transaction to address a variety of challenging issues and it was a fantastic team effort by everyone involved to bring the transaction to a successful conclusion".
