Peninsula celebrates budding success of new venture

Peninsula Private Medical Services opened its doors to invited guests for the ‘official’ launch Waterloo Court Health and Wellbeing Hub near Uffculme.

With the service already up and running, and word spreading fast, the founders were keen to celebrate successes so far and have the opportunity to showcase the impressive capabilities to invited guests.

Around 50 people took the opportunity to look around the facilities of the bespoke building, which grew from two old farm cottages. The main building at Waterloo Court now houses a private GP service with specialisms including women’s health and dermatology, whilst at the rear of the development, a stunning courtyard offers space to over 20 complementary practitioners providing treatments from Pilates, nutrition support and counselling to massage and beauty treatments.

At the event, James Davies, one of Peninsula's founders, explained the vision behind the service. “We’d been looking for a suitable building for a number of years - and then we noticed something was happening with these cottages that we drove past daily. The timing was perfect and after making enquiries, the new venture took shape.”

Landowner Mike Blackmore told guests how he was inspired by the idea of creating something that would serve the local community, built in a bespoke and collaborative way.

Peninsula Private Medical Services and the wellbeing hub are now serving clients from across the region, including Tiverton, Exeter, Taunton, South Devon and Minehead.
