Intellectual disabilities care provider Milewood Healthcare has appointed Anthony Miller as director of business development and growth.

Miller will be responsible for expanding services, increasing occupancy, and building strong relationships with commissioners and other stakeholders.

Miller has more than 25 years’ healthcare sector experience, particularly within private equity-backed specialist care organisations. As head of business development at Aspirations Care he was instrumental in creating and developing 14 new supported living projects, which provided homes for more than 91 people.

Before that Miller was business development manager at Salutem Healthcare. He also worked at Priory-owned Craegmoor, where he managed the development of five new specialist services and expanded the business into Northern Ireland.

Miller said, “I am very happy to join the Milewood leadership team and look forward to using my experience to drive growth, and support the organisation’s mission where everyone has access to personalised, high-quality care and support.”

Milewood’s chief executive Martyn Heginbotham commented: “Anthony’s extensive experience in business development and his proven track record of delivering results make him a perfect fit for our team. We are confident that his leadership will play a crucial role in our continued success.”
