Key Strengths

Vespa Capital invested in CHASE in July 2016 attracted by its international blue chip customer base, its strong reputation within its industry in the UK, and the strength of its customer relationships. Since partnering with the business, Vespa Capital has supported the management team to develop new service lines and successfully implemented a transition of the management of the business from the founders to a first-class management team.

In 2022 CHASE completed the strategic acquisition of Medacy, expanding CHASE’s offering to include the provision of quality pharmacist-led clinical services to the NHS.
The addition of Medacy also strengthens the group’s capabilities in collaborative working solutions for the existing pharmaceutical client base by adding remote patient reviews and utilising Medacy’s NHS network and expertise.
Strong management team with extensive industry experience within CHASE’s chosen markets.
Unique synergistic business model and candidate intelligence allows the business to source high quality personnel quicker than the competition.
Recognised as a quality leading provider of talent solution services via a number of industry awards.
A high proportion of long term, recurring revenue which provides future revenue visibility.
Very high levels of customer satisfaction and repeat business, driven by CHASE’s quality-led service model, as well as the diligent and ethical approach demonstrated by both CHASE’s operational staff and the team of contract personnel currently deployed.
Attractive growth opportunities unlocked in adjacent markets, through enhanced service offerings to existing customers and the development of new services lines.
