HTG-UK is delighted to have acquired transportation partner First Care Ambulance

HTG‑UK has acquired Devon‑based First Care Ambulance, bringing Devon and Cornwall patient transport services closer together.

This move strengthens non‑emergency patient transport across the Southwest, supporting greater integration following the Devon & Cornwall ICB merger — with no immediate change to services for patients.

HTG-UK chief executive Neil Berry said the decision was based on shared values and experience in patient care.

“First Care Ambulance has an outstanding track record and shares an ethos and set of values that align closely with HTG-UK,” he said. “We are delighted to welcome FCA into the group.”

HTG-UK already holds the non-emergency patient transport contract for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, and teaming with FCA enables the delivery of a stronger, more resilient service for patients across the region.

We’re pleased to welcome First Care Ambulance and its dedicated teams into the HTG‑UK group.
