ACQUISITION OF HILLSIDE MEDICAL SUPPLIES LIMITED
I am pleased to announce that Cambridge Life Sciences Limited (CLS) has acquired Hillside Medical Supplies Ltd. (Hillside Medical).
Hillside Medical is a medical supplies company specialising in the sale of a wide variety of medical supplies and diagnostic devices to the UK Primary Care community. Hillside has had a long and successful relationship with companies such as Welch Allyn, Clement Clarke, Vitalograph, Heine, Seca, Huntleigh, Lec, Shoreline, Labcold, Sidhil, Sunflower, Plinth, Eschmann, Daray, Luxo and many more providing cost effective solutions to Primary Care throughout the UK.
Cambridge Life Sciences is an in vitro diagnostic company that develops, manufactures and distributes its products worldwide in over 20 countries. Together with some of its distribution partners CLS has developed a marketing strategy to take in vitro diagnostic tests closer to the patient. This near patient strategy necessarily includes the Primary Care community in the UK.
The acquisition of Hillside Medical provides a vehicle for CLS to access this developing near patient testing market, as well as allowing some of the more specialist devices available to Hillside Medical to be sold into the UK hospital market in support of the CLS product range.
Hillside Medical Supplies will continue to operate as a separate company taking advantage of the skills and abilities of the staff that have been responsible for growing the business to date.
The concentration on customer service and the ability to tailor solutions to specific customer needs will remain at the heart of both businesses, and we look forward to our customers benefiting from the continuity and synergies that this partnership will bring.
