Black & Lizars aims to double network size

Scottish independent chain Black & Lizars has revealed plans to invest up to £10m on a major practice expansion over the next two years.

The company said it would look to double the size of its network, from 24 currently to 48, focusing mainly on Scotland.

Expansion plans follow a £2m investment on six major refurbishments and three acquisitions in the past two years, including a brand new practice in Dalkeith, Midlothian.

Black & Lizars chief executive Mark Ross said: 'Our latest acquisitions are part of a wider company objective to expand and invest in the business and we are very positive about the future.'
