In its first acquisition since it was acquired by CVC DIF, this represents the first stage in a programme of expansion for medneo. 

London-based diagnostic imaging services provider medneo UK has acquired Fairford Medical’s fleet of MRI and CT scanners in a move that strengthens its ability to support the NHS in addressing rising demand for diagnostic imaging services across the country.

Financial terms have not been disclosed. 

The transaction is medneo’s first acquisition since being acquired by CVC DIF, the infrastructure arm of global private markets manager CVC, in August last year. Founded in 2018, it was acquired from medneo Group, a diagnostic-imaging operator with operations in the UK, Germany and Switzerland.

The move also represents the first stage in a programme of expansion for medneo.

medneo UK’s chief executive Ella Tracey said that the acquisition was a “significant step forward” and that this was “the first of many steps in medneo’s UK growth story”.
