Habit Group

Founded in 2002, Habit Group is the largest provider of integrated rehabilitation, occupational health and fitness services in New Zealand.

Transcript:

Ben: Our M&A plan is very, very active at the moment. We’re actively looking to grow into the physio market in New Zealand with an infill strategy. We’re also looking to pick up a few other businesses of a larger scale, which will add to our depth of service.

Will: Three months after we got involved, Habit was able to acquire Southern Rehabilitation, the equivalent player to them in the South Island in terms of being the leading and large-scale provider of rehabilitation and occupational health, giving the business nationwide coverage. We’ve not only assisted in providing additional funding to help support those acquisitions post our original investment, but we’ve also helped the team think through those opportunities. In particular, in relation to Australia, we’ve helped identify and map out the players that we think would be most attractive for Habit to partner with.
