PHL Group, backed by Ethos Partners LLP, has acquired the trading subsidiaries of Totally Plc. The transaction includes a share purchase of the Group’s elective care and corporate wellbeing subsidiaries, alongside the acquisition of the business and assets of its urgent care division.
The transaction was carefully managed in close collaboration with NHS England, local NHS trusts, and commissioners, to ensure uninterrupted patient care. As a result, over 600 jobs have been safeguarded.
Ross Brand, CEO of PHL Group, commented:“I am very pleased that we have acted quickly and decisively to bring our businesses together. This reflects a strong cultural alignment between our two organisations and, most importantly, ensures continuity of care for patients while safeguarding a highly skilled and dedicated workforce who are passionate about caring for their patients.”
Grant Paul-Florence, Partner at Ethos Partners, commented: “Ethos Partners is delighted to have supported PHL Group in bringing together two trusted healthcare providers. This acquisition has safeguarded over 600 jobs and ensured continuity of vital NHS services. We look forward to working closely with the management team to support a successful integration.”
This marks the third strategic transaction for PHL Group and follows the recent merger with Malling Health in March 2025. Ethos Partners originally invested in PHL in August 2022.
The acquisition represents another significant milestone in PHL’s growth journey, reinforcing its commitment to delivering outstanding, patient-centred healthcare.
PHL Group was advised by ABG Corporate Finance, HCR Law, and S&W Partners Group.
