EKN Horizons, the family office for Dunrogan Limited and the Eakin Healthcare Group, is delighted to announce completion of its first collaborative equity investment.  Working with Lonsdale Capital Partners, London under the leadership of Ross Finnegan, EKN Horizons has secured an equity stake in Todays Dental Group Limited.

The Todays Dental leadership, lead by CEO Rob Paxman, has deep and longstanding relationships within the dental industry and brings with it a strong pipeline of acquisition targets from which it shall look to scale the existing platform. TDGL offers an attractive model to non-corporate-owned dentists through the centralisation of certain of their back office and administrative functions, as well offering the opportunity to participate in the future financial success of TDGL as a whole.

Lonsdale, with its recent experience successfully executing buy-and-build and roll-out strategies in support of Simmons Bars, P2 Consulting and Cross Rental Services, is excellently positioned to support TDGL as it scales in the pursuit of its aim of operating more than 50 dental practices across England and Wales. In addition, to facilitating TDGL’s ambitious roll-out plan, Lonsdale will provide strategic counsel, support investment in the group head office function, and will be active on the Company’s board.

Dunrogan Limited Chairman, Paul Eakin, commented on the investment; ‘we are delighted to make our first investment and to have found such willing partners as Lonsdale to work with. The vision of the leadership team at Todays Dental is compelling and we look forward to a productive relationship with all concerned’.
