FSP advises Medical Supermarket on its acquisition of DS Medical

The Corporate team has advised Procure Health Limited, trading as Medical Supermarket, on its acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Data (Southern) Enterprises Limited, trading as DS Medical.

The acquisition marks an important milestone for two businesses that share a common goal of making healthcare purchasing simpler and more accessible.

Medical Supermarket is one of the UK’s specialist online healthcare suppliers, partnering with leading manufacturers to provide customers with high-quality products they can trust. DS Medical is a trusted distributor of first aid supplies and emergency medical equipment, serving healthcare professionals across the UK.

This is the first acquisition completed by Medical Supermarket since its launch in 2011. The transaction will provide both Medical Supermarket and DS Medical greater buying power and access to a broader range of products enabling them to enhance the service they offer to customers while continuing to deliver the personal approach their customers value.

Commenting on the transaction and the support provided by FSP, Lloyd Wilcox, Managing Director of Medical Supermarket, said:

“A deal like this takes an enormous amount of time, patience and hard work, so a massive thank you to Ross and Edward at Field Seymour Parkes LLP for guiding us through the process.”

The team at FSP was led by Edward Deutrom (Solicitor, Corporate) and Ross Brymer (Senior Associate, Corporate) with assistance from Patrick Turek (Solicitor, Real Estate), Mark Banham (Partner, Real Estate) and David Clay (Legal Director, Employment).
