 Allied Healthcare Group Ltd, the UK subsidiary of Allied Healthcare International Inc. is a leading provider of flexible healthcare staffing services in the United Kingdom. Allied operates a community-based network of over 110 branches with the capacity to provide care assistants, nurses, and specialised medical personnel to locations covering approximately 90% of the U.K. population. Allied meets the needs of Health Board Trusts, Local councils, private patients, community care, nursing homes, and hospitals.
The Directors of Homecare, Mairead & Gerald Mackle said, “This is an exciting milestone in our business growth strategy and believe Allied to be the right team to grow this business with. We view this as a major vote of confidence in the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland economies and expect this to create new local job opportunities. It gives Homecare the financial strength to both expand our services in Northern Ireland as well as put into action our plans to dynamically grow our presence in the underdeveloped and high potential care market in the Republic of Ireland.”
 Sandy Young, Chief Executive Officer of Allied, commented, “Where Great Britain has outsourced approximately 80% of home care services to the independent sector, Northern Ireland and Eire are at approximately 50% and 5%, respectively. We see these markets following the same trends of outsourcing and rapidly aging populations as we have seen in Great Britain and, therefore, they are of great strategic value. Furthermore, Homecare is a well-respected and established business with an excellent platform for future growth across the region. We look forward to working closely with the existing directors to realise our shared vision for growth and quality of care over the coming years.”
