Dubai-based Amanat Holdings has officially marked its entry into the UK healthcare market by acquiring Cornerstone Healthcare Holdings. The transaction, executed through Amanat’s subsidiary, Cambridge Health Group (CHG), involves an initial enterprise value of £71 million, which could rise to £76 million based on future performance targets. This strategic move, funded through internal company resources, is expected to provide returns that exceed the group’s established investment benchmarks.

The acquisition of Cornerstone—previously owned by private equity firm Ignite Growth—adds four specialized care facilities in Southern England to CHG's portfolio. These homes provide critical support for patients dealing with complex needs, including neuro-progressive conditions and severe mental health challenges. This deal pushes CHG’s total capacity past 1,000 beds, aligning with Amanat’s broader vision to reach over 1,500 beds in the medium term. With this latest expansion, Amanat has now deployed approximately Dh0.9 billion of its Dh1.5 billion investment strategy, reflecting a significant step forward in the company's commitment to scaling its healthcare and education footprint across key international regions.
