We are delighted to welcome Matthew to Simplyhealth. His background in operations and retail will be a huge asset as we continue to move forward and support our customers with their healthcare needs. We have ambitious plans for Independent Living and have already made some key acquisitions in this area. Most recently we bought Care and Mobility in the Midlands expanding our number of stores from six to 13. Matthew joins at an exciting time for Independent Living as we continue to invest in our future and expand our capability and reach.
