Second specialist practice to join the Group
UK pet chain Pets At Home has acquired a 75 per cent stake in specialist veterinary referral centre Anderson Moores.
Anderson Moores is the second specialist veterinary practice to join the Pets At Home Vet Group and will provide referral expertise in areas ranging from internal medicine and soft tissue surgery, to dermatology and anaesthesia.
The practice is also equipped with dedicated CT and MRI scanners, state-of-the-art operating theatres, and a host of other specialist equipment.
Commenting on the acquisition, Sally Hopson, Pets at Home CEO, said: "We are delighted to welcome Anderson moors into the Pets at Home Vet Group. Anderson Moores is one of the country's leading Specialist referral centres and having it as part of out network underlines our commitment to quality as we begin to expand our presence in this segment of the market, following the acquisition of Northwest Surgeons earlier in the year."
Anderson Moores was founded in 2006 by CEO Richard Hoile and Davina Anderson, who were joined as shareholders in 2009 by Andy Moores, and in 2012 by David Walker. Together they will retain a 25 per cent stake in Anderson Moores, which will continue to operate as a stand-alone brand and business within the Pets at Home Vet Group.
"We developed Anderson Moores from the very beginning to focus on proving the best care we possibly can for the dogs and cats referred to us, " said Davina Anderson. "We are very proud of the team we have built here and have many colleagues who have been with us since the early years continuing to provide consistent standards of clinical expertise and compassion.
"We have been really impressed by the ability of the Vet Group team to understand our values and ethics and support us in our long term future together."
