Cinven’s 2019 announcement listed 149 branches and more than 1,850 employees. In August 2024, HME News reported that Cinven had engaged Harris Williams and Morgan Stanley to prepare a sale. No completed sale appeared in the trade press reviewed for this profile. Crispin Teufel, formerly CEO of Lincare, joined NSM as CEO in 2023.
