Headquartered in Warrington, PAM is a leading preventative healthcare specialist. It offers a full-service of integrated occupational health programmes to clients which include leading blue-chip and public sector organisations, supporting more than a million employees at over 1,000 businesses.
PAM’s services include absence management, health surveillance, physiotherapy, employee assistance programmes, psychological support, corporate health assessments and neurodiversity assessments. These are delivered by PAM’s 700-strong workforce from locations across the UK via a combination of mobile, remote, on-site and clinic-based services.
Developing a series of new products
PAM’s management team, led by CEO James Murphy, chose to partner with LDC in 2021. Our support will help the business in delivering its ambitious organic growth strategy to further enhance its services. This includes the development of a suite of new products, including telemedicine services and digital cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) services.
Doing the right thing
In 2022, the business announced its social value blueprint to help its employees, clients, stakeholders and communities to live better, healthier and happier lives. The commitment includes giving each employee 1.5 days paid leave to volunteer for a good cause, providing an
annual charity fund worth £12,000, working with job centres to provide training for the unemployed and adopting the real living wage for all employees and associates.
The team is also setting clear targets for carbon reduction – committing to keeping travel to a minimum and incorporating low carbon technology and renewable energy systems.
We really like LDC’s collaborative approach to private equity investment and are looking forward to having their counsel on our board. Their track record in supporting healthcare businesses to grow speaks for itself. We can’t wait to see what we will achieve together.”
Acquisitive growth
In 2023 PAM completed the acquisitions of MedProtect, which provides mobile health screening to companies across the UK & Ireland, the occupational health physiotherapy business of Connect Health and provider of consultant-led occupational health services, Corporate Health Ireland (CHI).
People development
In February 2024, PAM launched a Warrington-based dedicated training academy for clinical and non-clinical staff in order to enhance routes for career development across the group.
