We are thrilled to announce the completion of a £1.6 million investment into Light Centre, a chain of medical, therapeutic and wellbeing centres. This investment will support a five-year expansion plan to open more than 10 new sites.
Light Centre is a holistic wellness hub offering a wide range of services. These include classes like yoga, Pilates, barre, and reformer Pilates, along with various workshops and courses. They also provide physical and talking therapies. Additionally, the centre offers studio and therapy room hire for both full-day and hourly rentals.
Light Centre also offers therapists marketing support and networking opportunities to help them develop successful practices. This allows therapists to focus on delivering a first-class experience for all visitors. This has also led to the development of a community of practitioners able to provide customers with access to different services via a network of cross referrals.
Founded in 2005 by Mark Thompson, a former osteopath and naturopath, Light Centre has had an incredible growth journey. They currently have 4 locations across London, in Clapham, Marylebone, Belgravia and Monument. The funding from Middleton Enterprises will support the expansion of this community to additional locations across London.
James Middleton, Investment Manager at Middleton Enterprises, said: “We identified Light Centre as a leader in its field. It has a phenomenal track record in attracting & retaining practitioners and encouraging them to grow their businesses.”
He added: “It’s a proven business with a clear growth strategy to meet an increasing demand for flexible therapy rooms. The strength of Mark’s vision combined with the operational experience of Light Centres CEO, Olga Allon makes Light Centre ideal for our investment strategy, and we’re looking forward to supporting the business as it continues to grow.”
Mark Thompson said: “We are very proud of our achievements. We have some of the best locations and facilities in London that provide practitioners with a great environment to work in. But we understand what it takes to build a thriving practice. That’s why we’re dedicated to helping practitioners, by giving them the resources they need to attract and retain customers and build their reputation. The investment will allow us to replicate our model, open new sites, and offer spaces to new practitioners”.
We look forward to supporting Light Centre on their growth journey and assisting them in solidifying themselves as London’s top destination for medical, therapeutic and wellbeing services.
