The UK’s second biggest cosmetic surgery provider, The Hospital Group has acquired a controlling share in Mills and Mills, a medical tourism company in Spain.

Mills & Mills was founded in Marbella 4 years ago by British husband and wife team David and Debbie Mills. Having over 35 years cosmetic surgery experience between them they recognized a gap in the market and have since become one of the leaders of medical tourism in Spain. Despite the recession, cost of air travel and overseas accommodation, record numbers of British patients are choosing to undertake treatment with Mills & Mills in Spain for cosmetic, dental and weight loss treatments. With investment from The Hospital Group they can now implement their plans for expansion.

The Hospital Group continues its international expansion and this deal follows a recent acquisition of four clinics in Ireland. It offers 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 Group’s UK and Ireland based clinics. Both companies are looking to expand worldwide. The companies have plans to employ top surgeons from around the world and they have recently appointed top cosmetic surgeon Dr Mario Russo as clinical director.

David Mills 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. We want Mills & Mills to be viewed as more European. We are currently opening clinics all over mainland Spain, the Canaries and the Balearic islands. Since the launch of our new Spanish brand and Spanish language website we have literally seen hundreds of new customer enquiries.”

The Hospital Group is investing 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. Mills & Mills is based in Southern Spain as it offers affordable prices, the confidence of being within the EU, a short-haul flight from the UK, as well as high levels of medical care within a multi-lingual private hospital.

The Hospital Group has a network of 15 clinics around the UK and four in Ireland. A private hospital near Birmingham is the world’s biggest specialist plastic surgery facility. The group is the UK’s number one in weight-loss surgery and hair transplantation and also expert in non-surgical treatments and cosmetic dentistry.
