Crescent Capital Group LP, a leading alternative credit investment firm, announced today that its European Specialty Lending strategy has provided unitranche financing to support the acquisition of Highcare by Bencis.

Founded in 2000, Highcare is a specialised staffing and education company and Dutch market leader in the provision of (temporary) health professionals to both the public and private healthcare sector. Highcare connects healthcare professionals across a wide range of specialisms including nurses, doctors and ambulance staff with institutions such as hospitals, ambulance service providers, care homes and mental care institutions.

"We see this investment in Highcare as an exciting opportunity to support the growth of a leading provider of staffing solutions in the healthcare sector, where we expect continued stable demand," said Christine Vanden Beukel, Managing Director and head of Crescent’s European Specialty Lending strategy. "We also appreciate being able to work with Bencis again, following our investment in the Medsen-Ceban group last year. We look forward to continuing to provide flexible capital solutions to sponsors and high-quality companies with strong growth prospects."
