North East firm providing ambulances for NHS enters administration after 20 years

Medicare EMS, a North East firm that provides ambulances for the UK’s NHS, has entered administration after 20 years in business. The company, founded in June 2020, offers pre-hospital care and education across the UK, including medical support at venues and racecourses, as well as ongoing support for the NHS. Medicare EMS operates from three locations in Chelmsford, Coventry and Hartlepool. Earlier this year it expanded by acquiring UK Event Medical Services (UKEMS) and Elite EMS in March. Joint administrators Dominik Thiel-Czerwinke and Louise Donna Baxter of BTG Begbies Traynor were appointed on September 16, according to The Gazette. The article explains that administration is a legal Insolvency Act 1986 process, typically with a moratorium for restructuring, and that it generally ends automatically after 12 months unless extended.
