Empowering Apollo Home Healthcare’s Expansion through Bespoke Unitranche Financing
At a glance
Shawbrook has structured a bespoke funding solution to support Sovereign Capital Partner with its acquisition of Apollo Home Healthcare.
Founded in 2014, Apollo is a leading provider of complex, nurse-led healthcare-at-home services for children and adults with high-acuity clinical needs. Headquartered in Wolverhampton and operating across the Midlands, North and East of England, the business employs more than 1,000 healthcare assistants and approximately 150 clinical and registered nurses.
Apollo has established itself as a scaled provider of complex care in the home, supporting NHS priorities to shift care into community settings and reduce pressure on inpatient services. The experienced leadership team, led by Managing Director Laura Walker and Operations Director Michelle Flynn, will continue to drive the business’s next phase of growth.
Sovereign’s investment alongside the Shawbrook facility will support Apollo’s continued geographic expansion and investment in people, technology, and client experience, as well as selective acquisitions where they add strategic value.
Apollo is a standout provider of high-quality, community-based healthcare. Laura, Michelle and the team have built a clinically robust, resilient organisation that plays a vital role in supporting some of the most complex patients across the country. Given our longstanding relationship with Shawbrook, their deep understanding of the healthcare sector and ability to structure a tailored, flexible debt package made them a natural funding partner for this investment. We look forward to working together to support Apollo’s continued growth.
Laura Walker, Managing Director, Apollo Home Healthcare, said:
“From the outset, Shawbrook demonstrated a clear understanding of our sector, the clinical complexity of the care we deliver, and the importance of maintaining quality as we scale. Their relationship-led approach and willingness to take the time to understand our strategic ambitions gave us confidence that we had the right funding partner in place. We look forward to working together to support more individuals with high-acuity needs to receive outstanding healthcare in their own homes.”
Deepak Parekh, Senior Director at Shawbrook, said:
“We are pleased to support Sovereign on its investment in Apollo. Apollo’s strong clinical reputation and established relationships across the NHS position it well for continued growth. Our longstanding relationship with Sovereign enabled us to deliver a flexible and efficient funding solution, and we look forward to supporting the business as it continues to scale.”
