NHS contractor Circle Holdings raises £45.3m in float
11 April 2012
Circle Holdings, the investment vehicle behind the first private company to win a contract to run an NHS hospital, today said its floatation raised £45.3 million.
That values Circle Holdings - the business behind Circle Health, called the "John Lewis of health" as it is almost half owned by doctors and nurses - at £95.4 million.
It will start trading on Aim on Friday.
Circle said it expects to take over running the UK's first privately managed NHS hospital - Hinchingbrooke in Cambridgeshire - by autumn.
