History

Umedco was formed in 1985 as a subsidiary of United Medical Enterprises Ltd(UME).

UME had been acquired by the National Enterprise Board(NEB) formed by the British Government to stimulate British exports from its original founders Michael Rosenberg,O.B.E. and Dr Michael Sinclair in 1979 and was at that time a public listed company on the London Stock Exchange under the name of Allied Investments Ltd.

UME was a global healthcare business providing turnkey management hospital services and equipment supply . Umedco focussed on acquiring agencies to supply healthcare equipment supplies to the Hong Kong market.

In 1986 UME was sold by the NEB and Michael Rosenberg and Michael Sinclair acquired Umedco through their private company Eastkings Ltd in the UK.
