Handsworth Dental Care in Sheffield finds new owners through Christie & Co
Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has announced the recent sale of Handsworth Dental Care in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
Established in the 1950s, Handsworth Dental Care is a six-surgery mixed practice known for providing high-quality family dentistry and vocational training for aspiring dentists. The practice trades from a large, character property in a prominent position on the edge of Sheffield.
Handsworth Dental Care has been owned by Dr Jacqueline Luscombe and Dr Jason Dean since 2009 and was recently brought to market to commence their future retirement plans. Dr Luscombe comments, “I am very pleased to have sold our dental practice through Christie & Co. I have enjoyed working at the practice for 21 years and am looking forward to continuing for the next few years with the new owner, Ashish. I am extremely happy to be working with two young and enthusiastic dentists and I am sure they will continue to develop the practice in the years ahead.”
The business has been purchased by local dentists Dr Ashish Khanna and Dr Suchetna Khanna, who comment, “We are delighted to join the team at Handsworth Dental care and are committed to continuing to provide excellent levels of patient care. The practice has an excellent reputation, fantastic patient base, great dentists and staff, and we plan on keeping it operating as it is, while also improving the facilities and expanding the services offered to benefit both staff and patients. Dr Jason and Dr Jackie are an integral part of the team at Handsworth Dental Care and have plans to stay at the practice for many more years to come, and we are really looking forward to working with them.”
Jonathan Watson, director at Christie & Co, who handled the sale, comments, “I am delighted to announce the sale of Handsworth Dental Care, particularly off the back of a very challenging 18 months for all concerned. It is great news that Jackie and Jason are remaining as Associates and trainers; this will give the practice continuity and allow Ashish and Suchetna to drive the private side of the business, where there is huge potential. It is also encouraging to see another practice sold to local independent dentists who know the area and understand the needs and wants of the community.”
The freehold interest of Handsworth Dental Care was sold for an undisclosed price.
