Revenue and profits rise for Wirral firm Ross Care ahead of acquisition by rapidly expanding group

Revenue and pre-tax profits both increased at a Wirral-based wheelchair services and mobility firm in the year before it was acquired by a rapidly-expanding medical group.

Wallasey business Ross Care, the UK's largest provider of wheelchair repair contracts and with centres around the country, has reported a turnover of £23.6m for the 12 months to June 30, 2020, up from £21.5m.

Its pre-tax profits also went from £1.4m to £3.3m over the same period.

Ross Care has 18 service centres around the country including four wheelchair clinical assessment centres across the North and North West of England.

The newly filed accounts with Companies House comes after the company was snapped up by Millbrook Healthcare, a portfolio company of private investment firm Cairngorm Capital, earlier this year.

A statement signed off by the board said: "The year to June 2020 has seen continued growth, building on the contract success of 2018/19 and adding additional wheelchair service and wheelchair approved repairer contracts during the year.

"The directors were particularly pleased to be awarded the Calderdale Wheelchair Service contract which started in October 2019.

"The group continues to make capital investment to support business expansion and enable a high quality service to be delivered."
