ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

 

Welcome to Medical Centres Group
As a healthcare professional I know that you and your colleagues have specific needs and it is our aim to work with you to provide solutions.

The Case Studies have been chosen from more than 80
completed Primary Care Centres we have developed since 1993. They illustrate our professional approach to delivering high quality, well designed buildings and demonstrate our commitment to long term relationships with all the healthcare professionals who use our buildings.

MCG is noted for its personal service. The development of each medical centre is the responsibility of a named director who works with you from start to finish providing continuity, value for money and ongoing support.  

As a  privately owned independent company MCG is not controlled by one of the pharmaceutical or building construction companies, nor are we answerable to the shareholders of a Stock Exchange listed company.

We were established in 1993 and have two regional divisions, Medical Centres Scotland and Medical Centre Developments.

We would not be able to provide this high standard of service without the quality and dedication of our experienced team. If you would like to discuss your requirements with me or with any of the directors we would be delighted to hear from you.
