OakNorth provides facilities to MPS Care Group
Digital bank OakNorth has provided funds to MPS Care Group to refinance and support its future growth. MPS Care owns and operates a number of care homes, with over 180 beds providing care in the North East, North West, and the East Midlands. AT Commercial Finance advised on the transaction. Paul Gray, chairman of MPS Care, said: “Since our founding almost 40 years ago, our goal has been to be the care provider
of choice, by providing the highest level of care to all our residents and continually improving the quality of our service. Covid-19 was a particularly challenging period for the sector, but by consolidating our portfolio and ensuring we provide comfortable, safe and homely environments for all our residents, we were able to come out the other side even stronger. As we look ahead to the future, we’re excited to have the backing of OakNorth – they’ve supported some of the strongest operators in the business, so receiving this funding from them puts us in great company.” Dale Cowdell, director of debt finance at OakNorth, commented: “The care sector has faced its fair share of ups and downs over the years, but with an ageing population and demand for beds already far outstripping supply, it’s vital that providers such as MPS receive the support they need. Paul has done an exceptional job running the business over the last four decades, making the tough decisions when needed, and taking advantage of opportunities when they’ve come.”
Housing 21 names all- electric Doncaster scheme
Housing 21 revealed that its new retirement living development in Doncaster, South Yorkshire will be named Potter Court. Potter Court will be an all-electric, low-carbon scheme featuring efficient heating and cooling technologies. The name was chosen because of Doncaster’s Roman past. Archaeological excavations have uncovered Roman pottery, including tableware and storage vessels. Due to open Summer 2026, the scheme
will provide affordable independent housing for people over the age of 55. The development consists of 13 two-bedroom bungalows and 43 one- and two-bedroom stylish apartments. Alison Leppingwell, operations manager at
Housing 21, said: “People over the age of 55 will benefit from an affordable rented apartment or bungalow based in Balby. We are delighted to work with Hoober Urban Partnerships on this project.”
City of Doncaster deputy mayor Cllr Glyn Jones said: “This is a great project, delivering vital low carbon homes in the City of Doncaster. These social rent apartments for those over the age of 55 will support residents to maintain their independence.”
