TowerView Investments, with the support of AIB, has joined forces with Fairways Care Group, a specialist care services for adults with complex needs and learning disabilities in Northern Ireland, marking a new phase of growth for the organisation.
TowerView, a specialist investment and advisory firm with a focus on healthcare and energy sectors, has partnered with Tony Dunlop, Chief Executive of Fairways, to support the organisation’s continued expansion. The move reflects a shared commitment by the firms to enhance community-based care models that align with Northern Ireland’s wider social policy direction.
Fairways Care Group has operated for over 30 years and provides supported living, residential care, and outreach services to 65 adults across purpose-built facilities in Portrush and Coleraine. Through a new relationship with TowerView Investments, the team plans to grow its complex care offering.
The funding provided by AIB is a key enabler of this next chapter. It reinforces the bank’s broader ambition to back businesses delivering meaningful social impact, particularly in essential sectors like healthcare, where high-quality provision is essential to social wellbeing and long-term sustainability.
Seamus McGuckin, Head of Corporate Banking at AIB (NI), said:
“It’s a privilege to support this strategic partnership between TowerView and Fairways Care Group. It’s an exciting time for the organisation as it looks to grow its impact while remaining rooted in its core values of care and compassion.
