Muckle supports Latus Group as it acquires OH Services
We are delighted to have supported Latus Group in its acquisition of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire-based business OH Services Limited (OHS). The business is a prominent regional provider of occupational health services and is well-regarded for delivering highly specialised bespoke medical assessments tailored to the needs of the oil & gas, maritime and safety-critical industries.
Operating from two key clinic locations in North East Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, OHS has built a strong reputation for its expertise in conducting a range of industry-specific medicals.
Latus works with businesses across a range of sectors to help their people achieve healthier working lives through proactive, preventable healthcare that supports regulatory compliance, improves colleague health and wellbeing, and enhances employee engagement.
Access to strategic markets
The acquisition of OHS further strengthens the Latus proposition, broadening the medical expertise across the Group, creating additional capacity for the combined customer base and increasing geographical reach. It also provides the business with greater access to the strategic maritime, offshore renewables, and oil and gas markets. Following the acquisition, Latus plans to invest in additional strategic locations, including Aberdeen and Norwich, to service these industries on a national scale.
Jack Latus, CEO of Latus Group, said, “OHS is highly complementary to the Latus Group, which has a regional approach with national scale and a commitment to delivering world-class service for customers. We look forward to welcoming the OHS team and clients to Latus, working together to improve the health, safety and wellbeing of employees across the UK.”
