OC&C advises Hg on its strategic growth investment in Nourish

We are delighted to congratulate Hg on its strategic growth investment in Nourish Care, a leading provider of software for the UK social and community care sector. OC&C provided commercial due diligence to Hg in support of the transaction.

Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Bournemouth, Nourish provides an integrated suite of digital solutions that help care teams plan, record, and coordinate care. Its technology supports providers across residential and home care, helping them improve care quality, strengthen operational performance and gain greater insight from their data.

Hg’s investment will support Nourish in the next phase of its growth, enabling continued investment in its product and the development of new solutions to improve the customer experience and make carers’ lives easier. This includes further opportunities to harness AI to reduce administrative burdens and allow care teams to spend more time focused on delivering high-quality, person-centred care.

Founder Nuno Almeida will continue to lead Nourish as CEO and remains a significant shareholder, while Livingbridge, which has backed the business since 2022, will retain a minority stake.
