Consensus Capital acquired Northlands Care Home in 2019 and has since increased the homes profitability following a full review of the business. A staged upgrade of the home is being completed including room refurbishments and upgrading and renewing communal spaces. This investment has the potential for growth and has plans to increase the current number of beds. The home is currently made up of two buildings housing 49 beds, 22 in the Manor and 27 in the Lodge. A planning application has been submitted to Perth and Kinross Council to aid expansion plans for an extension to the existing lodge building to create an additional 15 beds increasing the total of beds from 49 to 64.  

St Margarets opened in January 2012 as a start-up which has since grown to maturity with 121 day children aged from birth to 5 years. The nursery prides itself on its excellent facilities including an outdoor space which provides the children with a park life experience and high-quality indoor spaces. These facilities all play a key role in the children’s development and in securing St Margarets with an outstanding reputation within the sector. St Margarets is proud to be one of the leading nurseries in the capital city of Edinburgh and strives for excellence by regularly reviewing the nurseries offering. The nursery is currently undergoing expansion plans to create an additional two playrooms and an outdoor roof garden.

As a knowledgeable expert investor in concepts and new ventures we look for scalable ideas driven by strong and focused management teams. Our wide ranging sector experience encompasses financial technology, marketing, social media, renewable energy and professional services. We invest in entrepreneurs and management teams who have proven to be successful leaders in their field. We provide additional support to these ventures with our own business and commercial expertise through non-executive directorships, as well as with the appointment of executive professionals with the technical knowledge and industry experience required by the business to grow further and succeed in delivering on its business plan.  

We have delivered significant value from restructuring, turnaround, special situations and insolvency recovery. We operate across all sectors and have completed transactions related to food manufacturing, textile manufacturing, renewable energy, building products, creative industries and retail. In one example of a deal we completed, we acquired the trading assets of a food processing manufacturer from Administrators after the company had run into difficulties with over-trading. After stabilising the operating cashflow and order book we were able to negotiate an agreement with a trade buyer who were also a supplier to the previous business, and ultimately sell the new business as a going concern.
