EAST Kilbride company Concept Northern, established in 1996 by husband and wife Andrew and Louise Tasker, has been bought by Warrington-based PAM Group, which said the deal would add £2.5 million to its annual revenues.
PAM Group said Concept Northern, which it noted offers neurodiversity assessments and assistive technology for people with conditions such as ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome, dyslexia, dyspraxia, autism and Tourette’s and has 20 staff, would bring a “new specialist service” to its business.
The Warrington firm, which was advised on the deal by accountancy firm Hurst, provides occupational health and wellness services to the public and private sectors. It has around 600 staff and raised its turnover to £30.1m in 2019 from £24.1m in the prior year. The purchase price was not disclosed.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
