Tristone Healthcare

What Tristone Healthcare does

Tristone Healthcare Ltd operates as the care division of UK-based Tristone Group, executing a buy-and-build-and-hold investment strategy focused on social care providers. Headquartered in Manchester, the company acquires established care businesses with proven operating models and supports existing management teams while allowing acquired brands to retain their independent identities. Services are delivered primarily under contract to local authorities and government commissioners, addressing high-acuity populations including adults with severe learning disabilities, mental health conditions, autism, acquired brain injuries, and looked-after children requiring specialist residential, nursing, domiciliary, and supported living placements across England and Wales.

The portfolio comprises nine wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, including Premier Care Management (community and outreach services across 13 South West properties), ProCare Wales (140 staff, two care homes and a community living service), Beyond Limits (CQC Outstanding-rated provider across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and Dumfries & Galloway), Seaside Care Homes (Essex-based residential care), Sportfit Support Services, Juventus Services (Norfolk-based specialist residential care for ages 10–18), Next Steps (Greater Manchester), South West Intervention Services, and Bangor Centre for Developmental Disabilities. The group does not operate a proprietary technology platform; service delivery relies on conventional care workforce models supplemented by central capabilities including a CPD-accredited training programme (since July 2023), a seven-member Independent Safeguarding Board, the Care Jobs Today recruitment portal (launched December 2023), and the Tristone Community Fund charitable vehicle.

Revenue is generated through contracted care service fees paid by UK local authorities and government commissioners, structured as recurring multi-year placements rather than transactional sales. Pricing is negotiated bilaterally with commissioners and not publicly disclosed. Portfolio revenue grew from £3.84 million in 2020 to £30.5 million in 2023 (a 35% year-on-year increase from £22.6 million in 2022) and approximately £43.1 million in 2024, a 41% year-on-year increase driven primarily by acquisitions. The platform is capital-backed by Duke Capital, which has provided £24.3 million in cumulative credit financing and increased its ownership stake to a 51% majority in December 2025 through a £3.0 million follow-on investment.
