Britain’s

biggest care homes operator will be sold next year as it struggles under a £525million debt mountain. Crisis-hit Four Seasons has hired BDO and Pinsent Mason to oversee the sale process. Chairman Martin Healy said: “This is a positive step towards restructuring the group’s finances and providing the business with a sound financial structure that meets its long-term requirements.” The sale is expected to be completed by spring with no impact on services.
