Bright Harbour Advisory has provided buy-side advice to the Board of PHL Group in its acquisition of selected subsidiaries and trade and assets of Totally plc.
The transaction includes a share purchase of Totally’s elective care and corporate wellbeing subsidiaries, alongside the acquisition of the business and assets of its urgent care division. Totally plc had launched a comprehensive strategic review on 1st May 2025, less than six weeks prior to completion of the transaction.
The acquisition represents the third strategic transaction for PHL Group and followed the recent merger with Malling Health in March 2025, on which Bright Harbour also provided advice.
PHL Group, a portfolio company of Ethos Partners LLP, operates a wide range of healthcare services across the UK and internationally, which include general practice, urgent care, custody healthcare, ADHD services, wait-list support, integrated urgent care, Special Allocation Service (SAS) and Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARC).
Ross Brand, CEO – PHL Group, said: “Bright Harbour were straight-talking and clear, helping us navigate a complex and fast-moving deal with real confidence. What really stood out was their tenacity and creativity, always finding a way through, even when things got tricky.”
Kristian Gavan, Partner, who led the Bright Harbour team, commented: “This was a highly complex deal, completed under significant time pressure. Our deep knowledge of the healthcare sector was vital to supporting the PHL team through to a successful completion.”
