working to help Curaa Group acquire this business, which is a great opportunity for them. Our clients had a clear idea of the business they sought and we quickly established their buying power to realise this.

8 Charity Heritage Care rebrands as Ambient
Heritage Care, incorporating Community Options, has announced a rebrand to reflect that it is one charity delivering many different services. Ambient will be the new brand that brings the portfolios of the charity under one name and one logo for the first time from April 2020. One of the top 20 generic not-for-profit health and social care providers in the UK, the charity delivers services meeting the needs of some of the most vulnerable adults in society. Operating in over 140 locations, it provides over 30 thousand hours of care to people on a weekly basis to support a range of needs due to the ageing process, learning disability or mental illness. The rebrand is part of the charity's’ five-
year plan, which reasserts its commitment to delivering the highest quality care and support nationally. Mark Milton, chief executive, says: “We
believe that bringing our portfolios together under one new name will allow us to convey our person-centred offering and directly improve understanding of our capabilities. We are fully
committed to taking active and continuous action to ensure that we retain our focus on achieving the highest possible standards in support and that we remain a partner and employer of choice.” The charity provides support in a range of settings including registered care homes and supported living projects, domiciliary care and care in the community, day services, respite and short breaks, nursing care, end of life care and community engagement and inclusion services. Davina Sellick, director of marketing and communications, says: “Our broad range of expertise means we can fully support people to meet their specific, individual needs and to care for people with multiple and complex diagnoses, but this message was difficult to communicate whilst operating under multiple names. “Through the rebrand, we aim to raise
awareness and improve understanding of how our combined services can meet individual requirements. One name, one logo and one website enable us to better articulate how we can expertly support those in need.”
