Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has announced the sale of Dundas Dental Practice in Grangemouth.
Dundas Dental Practice is a three-surgery NHS practice that has developed a strong reputation and a loyal patient base of around 7,000. Located in the residential area of Grangemouth, Falkirk, the practice is on La Porte Precinct, with excellent transport links to the nearby cities of Falkirk and Edinburgh.
The practice has been owned by Denise Laird for 23 years, who recently decided to sell due to wanting to retire from practice ownership.
Following a confidential sales process with Kevin Strain at Christie & Co, and with funding sourced through Stephen McConalogue at Christie Finance, Dundas Dental Practice has been purchased by first-time buyer, Bruno Maia.
Denise Laird, the former owner of Dundas Dental Practice, comments, “I joined Dundas Dental Practice in 1994 as an Associate and became a Partner in 1997, going on to purchase the practice in 2003. Over the years, it has grown into a well-established, three-surgery practice with a loyal patient base and a reputation for delivering high-quality NHS dental care and private treatments within the Grangemouth community.
“Having enjoyed many rewarding years at the practice, I felt the time was right to step back and pass the business onto new ownership. I am incredibly proud of what has been achieved and look forward to seeing Bruno and the same team build on its success, continuing to provide excellent care for patients for many years to come.”
Bruno Maia, the new owner of Dundas Dental Practice, comments, “Dundas Dental Practice immediately appealed to me because of its strong reputation in Grangemouth, loyal patient base, and the opportunity to build on the excellent foundations already in place. I am looking forward to working closely with the team to continue delivering outstanding patient care while investing in the future growth and development of the practice. The support provided by Christie & Co throughout the acquisition was exceptional, with both Joel and Kevin offering expert guidance, clear communication, and invaluable market knowledge at every stage. Their professionalism and commitment helped make the entire purchasing process smooth and efficient”
Kevin Strain, Senior Business Agent – Dental at Christie & Co, comments, “It was a real pleasure to advise on the sale of Dundas Dental Practice. Denise has been fantastic to work with throughout the process. She has built an excellent practice with a strong reputation, and her professionalism and commitment made the transaction a pleasure from start to finish.
“We are equally delighted to have secured Bruno Maia as the purchaser. Bruno impressed throughout the process with his enthusiasm and vision for the practice, and I have no doubt he will build on the excellent foundations Denise has established.”
Stephen McConalogue, Associate Director at Christie Finance, comments, “The dental market continues to be very encouraging for first-time buyers or current operators approaching the market for a better rate. I wish Bruno all the best for the future and look forward to catching up with him very soon.”
Dundas Dental Practice was sold for an undisclosed price.
