Bal is an ambitious entrepreneur who values integrity, diligence and dedication in himself and all those that he works with. He has a background in sales and marketing and graduated with LLB (Hons) Bachelor of Laws from Glasgow Caledonian University.

Bal has always held a close bond with his older relatives, with whom he holds to high esteem and love. This, along with the fact that his mother had worked as a social care worker in the 1990s, had given Bal the realisation that the importance of looking after our most vulnerable members of society, the elderly, is an endeavour that cannot be understated. Indeed, he knows that the quality of such service acts as the tool for how we measure our civilisation.
Bal’s late great-grandmother, who lived to see 95, would have shunned the idea of receiving care from a source other than her family. Bal endeavours to facilitate a care service that even his late relative, despite her obstinance, would have thought highly of and benefited from.

Bal has identified a tremendous opportunity to consolidate the care sector through the acquiring and augmenting of care homes in order to become a major force in the care sector. As such, he has put together a team of highly experienced individuals. Though acquisitions are the means, the ends to those means are a better, consistent and transparent quality of care for the benefit of all stakeholders.

David is a FCCA and MBA from Manchester Business School and has operated as CFO of Quoted PLC Companies in the Pharma, Engineering and Care sectors.

David is a natural leader and communicator and in addition to his technical skills, brings to the team a thorough understanding of the need to sustain an organisations core value through the M&A
process, and to build an assured relationship with investors, banks and key operational managers.
