Simplyhealth launches the future of everyday health and wellbeing

Simplyhealth and Denplan, the UK’s leading providers of health and dental plans in the UK, announced the merger of the two brands yesterday at an exclusive rebranding event in central London.With over 140 years of experience collectively, the Simplyhealth brand will continue to focus on providing professional everyday health, dental and wellbeing support for its corporate clients.

Speaking at the event, Simplyhealth’s Director of Corporate, Pam Whelan, said: “It’s great to see so many valued clients and intermediaries here tonight to celebrate the coming together of two fantastic brands.“We very much value and pride ourselves on building strong relationships and look forward to continuing to work closely together with people as invested as we are in evolving and driving the Simplyhealth business forward.”

This empowered new look, bringing Simplyhealth and the dental market specialists together under a united brand, introduces the Denplan name as a product range sold by Simplyhealth.

Simplyhealth and Denplan first joined forces in 2011 and this unified approach will continue to strengthen the excellent service, benefits and features that our clients receive.This brand union reflects Simplyhealth’s vision for the future to be known as the first business corporate clients and consumers turn to for support with everyday health.

Simplyhealth’s products deliver prevention before cure, offering easy access to a wide range of health benefits, such as routine dental check-ups, on-demand GP services, counselling and much more.Simplyhealth believes in helping people to get the most from everyday life and employment, enabling employers to attract and retain talent, whilst reducing absence through sickness.

Chief Executive of Simplyhealth, Romana Abdin, said: “We have always worked with employers to help people make the most of life through better everyday health. This goes right back to our original purpose and reason for being. There are complex challenges in health and social care. We all know we have an ageing population, we’re working longer and there is a rise in mental health conditions. Coming together under one brand will help us to tackle those challenges. And we’ll continue to support charities to help fulfil our purpose, by donating 10% of our profits every year.”

The start to 2017 introduced another exciting new partnership for Simplyhealth, with the announcement in January as the title sponsor of the renowned Simplyhealth Great Run Series.The Simplyhealth Great Run Series is the world’s largest running series with 250,000 participants a year taking part. The events programme stretches across the UK from Aberdeen to Portsmouth offering a full range of distances from 5k through to the half marathon.
