The bleak economic forecast on the coast has been given a major boost this week with the announcement by one of its leading businesses Mills&Mills cosmetic surgery clinic in Marbella of its multi million pound merger with the UKs 2nd biggest Cosmetic surgery provider,The Hospital Group. This merger brings together two established figures in the world of Cosmetic surgery and is yet another springboard in the Mills&Mills success story.
Mills&Mills was founded here in Marbella, a little less than 4 years ago by British husband and wife team David and Debbie Mills. Having over 35 year’s Cosmetic Surgery experience between them they recognized a gap in the Cosmetic Surgery market and have since become one of the leaders of Medical Tourism in Europe. They achieved this when the European economy was stable along with the Euro, 4 years on the European economy along with the rest of the world has downturned but Mills&Mills through sheer determination and hard work are riding the storm and now with investment from The Hospital Group can implement their plans for expansion.
So what are the benefits of the deal for both companies? For The Hospital Group it continues their international expansion and follows their acquisition of 4 clinics in Ireland? It offers their patients a safe option should they prefer to have their surgery abroad. For Mills&Mills it means that their patients can continue to benefit from pre and post surgical consultations at The Hospital Groups UK and Ireland based Clinics. Both companies are looking to expand world wide. They have also appointed top surgeon Dr Russo as a clinical Director to oversee and implement any medical changes caused by the merger.
David Mills Director of Mills&Mills says” we are very excited to be working alongside The Hospital Group, Director David Ross and I have know each other a long time and we both have the same high Ideals when it comes to Patient care. We want to give people more choices and more affordable surgery; this merger will make that happen”.
An early move following the merger is the launch of the Spanish Brand and the launch of its web site www.cirugiaplasticaperfecta.es David continues” We want Mills&Mills to be viewed as more European, our aim on launching the new site was to encourage the inclusion of the Spanish community. We are currently opening clinics all over mainland Spain, the Canaries and the Balearic islands. Since the launch of the site we have literally seen hundreds of new customer enquiries.
The Hospital Group is investing massively in new computer systems to integrate Mills&Mills and the Spanish operation into the Group along with investment into Mills&Mills marketing particularly on the internet”
A recent survey in the UK says that Britain will be the first country to come out of the recession with the rest of Europe staying in the doldrums till 2010. Its companies like Mills&Mills that renew confidence in the Coast and place it in a better position to grow both now and in the years ahead.
