CQC Compliance consultancy snapped up by Marlowe for £2m

Lancashire-based consultancy CQC Compliance has been acquired by business-critical services outfit Marlowe for around £2m.

The Preston consultancy provides retained compliance services to primary and secondary care organisations, including GP surgeries and private clinics, as well as care providers and care homes, to ensure compliance with health and social care regulations.

Marlowe said the acquisition adds a new capability to its governance, risk and compliance division, broadening the group’s offering of regulated compliance services into the care market.

CQC Compliance offers synergies with Ellis Whittam – the Marlowe group’s fixed-fee employment law, human resources and health & safety services company.

Both Ellis Whittam and CQC’s health and social care clients will benefit from joined-up access to employment law, human resources and health & safety support as well as compliance consultancy.

“We’re delighted to come together with the specialist team at CQC Compliance, particularly given the ever-developing and changing landscape of the regulatory system. This deal adds a significant new dimension to the Ellis Whittam family of service offerings and will benefit from the capability we’ve built to serve over 35,000 UK employers across all sectors,” said Ellis Whittam chief executive Gavin Snell (pictured).

CQC Compliance chief executive Greg Bamber added: “We’re a young business, but as a board of directors we passionately believe that joining the Ellis Whittam family, and going on the journey with Marlowe, will allow us to accelerate the market leading service we deliver to our clients.

“As the first to emulate Ellis Whittam’s fixed-fee model of professional support in health and social care compliance, our team is excited to build a plan for the coming years that draws on the Group’s depth of expertise and resource.”
