Simplyhealth comments on Denplan’s acquisition of Practice Plan for Vets
Denplan, which is owned by Simplyhealth, has today announced the acquisition of Practice Plan for Vets. This purchase will further strengthen its position in the pet health plans marketplace.
Denplan currently provides Pet Health Plans and covers over 30,000 pets across the UK. Practice Plan for Vets is the current market leader with around 68,000 pets covered and both of these distinct brands will be operated out of Denplan’s offices in Winchester.
The purchase of Practice Plan for Vets allows Denplan to support more practitioners and have a stronger position within an evolving market. Since its acquisition Denplan has been provided with the support to really grow and thrive within the group, and it is on the basis of this strong foundation that we will be extending our reach even further within the vet market. At Simplyhealth we look for opportunities to expand into areas where we have the expertise and experience to add value and enhance our services. Practice Plan for Vets is a great addition and we look forward to working with the practitioners and continuing to develop in this marketplace.
Denplan was acquired by Simplyhealth just over two years ago with a goal of supporting and driving further growth over the coming years. It is therefore especially pleasing to note that our business has continued to grow and thrive under their ownership, and we’re now able to invest and expand further into new markets. We’re delighted that we will be acquiring Practice Plan for Vets as this greatly strengthens the support we offer to healthcare professionals in the veterinary marketplace. This acquisition will also give us both huge opportunities, in time, to explore some exciting new offerings and enhancements to meet growing demand.
